Personally as a old man I would just replace to standy spec if you can be bothered. Removing leaves or lowering big-useful leaf sprung vehicles usually makes them more shit for not much gain.

That's what I'm thinking too. Its too long to try go sideways over stuff

AFWE have everything for chev trucks so I assume they would for the vans

That's who I was thinking about but forgot the name of. My g20 apparently is the same suspension as the c10 so they should have stuff

Are van and pickup leaves likely to be the same? Logic suggests that they might be. I'd be more inclined to add one leaf each side to improve load carrying performance than to remove one.

Yes they are. There was a shit load of tools etc in it and the guy was a mason I believe so probably would of loaded it up

Archers said they can have a look and make a replacement spring, I'll probably pull both leaves out at some point and they can check both.

I'll leave this here so here os I find it later. Headlights h4 semi sealeds because the current ones are a bit shit and if a bulb blows you can nearly always find a H4. One of the adjusters has a stripped thread so its pointing at the ground

just brainstorming/making a start on the list of stuff I want to do no order yet

regass aircon

vsr/2nd battery

extra interior lights/leds and wire off 2nd battery

clean/polish/wax everything

diagnose/repair oil pressure gauge

coolant/trans fluid replacement. oh and oil+filter

reverse/work light for the back/side

pedo spec tints

figure out how the cruise control works

slightly less shit speakers in the doors and replace the 6x9 in the back.

possibly mount the head under the passengers seat so I don't chop the dash up and ruin it, while i'm there wire it up to the 'house battery' so can listen to music/leave shit on and not worry about not starting.

Figure out where the long earth cable is meant to do

double check voltdrop/earths on motor as its slow to crank sometimes. (and test battery)

Dunno if anyone answered you about realigning your diff.....

There's a bolt right through the centre of the spring to hold the leaves together. The head of that bolt locates into a hole on the axle bracket.

You can just see it under the clamping plate in your broken leaf picture

Hey-presto, diff aligned.
