project 4b

Post by ROGQ »

just wanting some opinions as i am either going to purchase a mq/k or gq patrol as a project 4b. as i currently own a gq ute i dont have to much knowlage on the mq's (k's) cant say ive ever seen a mk. but anyway coil spring is almost a certain on my list. just curios if any mq's come out with 4 coils or are they leaf sprung. if so can u get much flew out of a leaf sprung. im guessing no where near as much a a coil... my other option (dont hate me) is a swb 40 series... anybody know much bout these. pretty sure they are leaf sprung as well. true? i just want a simple easy to work on truck. i also plan to do a v8 motor conversion.any inputs would be appreaciated.. thanks :lol:

Go the GQ. Would be the best starting platform out of them all.
