adding coils to a leaf spring suspension.  it's a popular modification to 80s toyota trucks (rear leafs), using a coil that mounts around the spring rubber bumper.  it was invented by a gearing dude who goes by "Zuk".

Or maybe it was really invented by the previous owner of this thing! Or maybe this truck was owned by Zuks grandpa...

for the zuk mod, the leaf springs and attaching points/shackles remain untouched, unlike ed's truck.

Got most of the plug remnants out. Need a tap or thread chaser to clean up all 6. Anyone know what size? My 9/16 seems close but not quite right.

14 mm

most spark plug threads are metric, either 14 or 18.  I think even the "peanut plugs" are, maybe 10 mm

You nailed it. Found that same item about 10 minutes ago on Amazon. $9

"truck" aka this frame has been moved onto a new owner. I took off a bunch of pieces I wanted and gave the rest away. Probably should have kept the manifolds off the engine but I ran out of time to pull them.
