Time slips from the weekend

Trust me I love my coil over suspension and have been 1.25 sixty foot times with my small block. The ease of working on it with a rack and pinion at my age sure helps. It’s an old school box frame frontend and a buddy changed out the old mercury Capri struts and switched it over to a single adjustable strange strut. My rear shocks have never been touched and are probably 20 years old. That’s on my one of these day lists to do.
the leaf springs need more front end travel to work than a coil over ladder bar.set up. I'm thinking this is the better alternative to putting the torsion bar setup back in .
