So here's some pics of the 2 sets I have to choose from:
These are the ones I got off my parts truck, 9 leafs total
These are the ones modified by the PO of my original frame, 5 leafs total.
This trucks hauling days are behind it, should I just go with the 5 leaf rears assuming all the leafs are in good shape? Or should I modify my 9 leafers per Mid-Fifty's instructions?
Thanks as always,
Ron

If the 5 leafs are ok, clean them up and paint them. Make sure your pins and bushings are good. Drive it, see how it rides. You can always add back some if you don't like the ride.
