Smokey,
I took the last two leafs out of the front springs on my 55 Cameo and the
difference was quite noticeable. I only had six leaves to start with so I took
two, if you have eight leaves you might take three out of the front and one or
two out of the rear set.
I'm debating taking one or two leafs out of the back set and another leaf out
of the front set, but unfortunately have been asked to go back to work for a
while and a lot of things are on hold. The good news is I have a cash infusion
so can afford to keep tweaking the Cameo<G>.

Brian-
I understand that you removed a couple of leaf springs, along with a few
other modifications, and got a smoother ride. Is that something I could do
with my '50 3600? It's a beautiful truck, but my wife says she needs a
special bra just to ride with me.
Everything is basically stock, and I just figured that the rough ride was
part of driving a cool old truck. Please tell me there's hope!
