I was thinking about going with 63'' chevy springs in the rear of my truck, but then i read marlins f toy build and liked the inboard spring idea does anyone have an opinion on inboarding the chevy springs.

I run my chevy springs inboard. If the rear of your truck is lightweight inboarding the springs is a great option.
Hug your kids, pray for a soldier, and don't sweat the small stuff.

Having a 12 second Honda is just like coming out of the closet; You're going to surprise a bunch of people, but in the end you're still gay.

What will you have in the back of your truck? Bed? Bed and tool box? Full rollcage? Nothing? Llamas?

Weight is the main factor in spring flex. If your pack is built right you'll get all the flex in the world out of those chevys.

I believe inbording the springs will interfere with your gas tank for the spring hanger.Unless you have some type of a blockt or big enough bracket to clear the gas tank interference....
