Morning Fritz;
I used to have a pair of 70 and 73 GMC's. Those were coil sprung 3/4 ton trucks and rode just fine. I never really hauled too much except band PA equipment.
The ride on the torsion suspension does feel different and unique from the coils; sorta car-like and almost floaty( but not bouncy), if that makes sense.
Yeah I've come to really like that husky hood
