Doc you have a set of 1500 leafs? How much?

And that last comment about time more so than the custom pack, are you talking about the Chevy's?

Well it is not that I am betraying you... But I think it will be easier to just make new leafs.... Between the time I would spend removing the body... dropping the gas tank... I think it will be more costly... I need my truck I do not have the ability to loose it for 2 days while I do all this!
