Because my 74 has the HD rear set-up, that 8-leaf spring pack rides like a swb 3/4 ton on rough roads. I want them out of the way so I can run truck arms w/bags just like my 68 was set-up (ride quality was muuuuuuch better).

That is exactly why I want to do it as well. With the heavy half package on mine it rides like crap unloaded. Now put about a ton in the bed and it rides like a caddy....

I took it for a ride sunday and hit a dip in the road and almost hit my head on the roof when the rear went over it. It was never very smooth riding unloaded as a long bed, but when I converted it to short bed it got waaayyy worse..
