I got the 19.5’s back from powdercoat. The current plan is to take the HO72 out next and refresh it, and go through the front and rear brakes and new driveline parts. It’s got some leaks and you have to pull the axles to get to the brakes. I bought a 1970 chassis manual, I am thinking about doing a detailed write up on it since there is so little info on them. Did some research and got some parts coming.



Had to take a break from the projects today to work on my Silverado. When I bought this I was looking at 2500’s for towing but the torque, hp, and trailer rating on the 1500’s is better than my previous 2002 k2500hd. Found out that although all those things are true, it squats really bad when loaded. So I added helper springs in the rear and a leveling kit in front to even it out. It came up just over 2” in the rear and just under 2” up front. It rides like a 4x4 half ton should! Looks like it should too imho...
