Re: Roadkill's 58 Chevy Stepside

I would think the back half of a Camaro weighs at least as much as the truck bed. Gas tank mounted in the back would be a push. New cars have a lot of hidden weight in undercoating, sound deading, etc. You could look up the capacity of the coils (suspension supplier should know that, compare to stock spring capacity and upgrade the coils if necessary. But since you already did the flip, which looks good stick with it. Can you get the anti sway bar to work, that will keep it from being so tippy??
