    Before you figure out the shocks you're going to need springs. That single leaf ain't gonna cut it when you take out that Rube Goldberg setup. Here's a good place to start to learn what some options are; http://www.classicperform.com/4754chevtrk.html

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    In my honest opinion ,I say all thats gatta go!! U need new leaf springs and new stock type shocks.Having said that ,I do not know if that mod to the suspention was for lowering or......? I would look at the link that was posted and figure out what fits your needs.Who ever built that there set up would be about the only one who would know what it needs or will fit on there.
    Its gunna take longer than u thought and its gunna cost more too(plan ahead!)
