I'm moving forward on the restoration of my '67 109 Diesel Pickup. I realize
that the parabolic debate has been had, ad infinitum, but I'm asking you to
revisit it with a very specific focus.
The springs on the truck are solid but old. I won't put them back on without a
total disassembly, blasting and hot re-arch. And that is a last resort.
I'm weighing the merits of a pure stock replacement with the parabolics and have
little to go on.
My final goal is a true restoration, not a rebuild. I realize that this
precludes the use of parabolics, but I must consider final ride (that's why I'm
installing the Fairey). I intend the truck to be showroom perfect, but I also
want a pleasurable driving experience. I am willing to make non-visible
concessions to modernization if the functionality is truly enhanced.
The truck should be eminently streetable, yet it will be hanger queen beautiful.
With this in mind, I am seeking the best possible street comfort spring solution
(and shocks).
Please contribute to my information pool.
