>Is this typical for the truck's suspension?<
Mike-
When I was a kid, the ADs were the newest trucks out (I was born in '49). I
remember riding out through the pastures, crossing creeks, checking on
livestock, and the biggest thrill of all was the bouncy ride. That was
FUN!!!
However, I would imagine that the ride should be somewhat smoother on
pavement. I drive a '50 3/4 ton on a long wheelbase, and except for pot
holes and speed bumps, the ride is relatively smooth. Of course, we aren't
driving Cadillacs, so it's always going to feel like a truck, as long as
it's on a truck frame, with truck suspension. Have you checked your shocks
and springs?
