Want a ride as Smooth as Silk[77 custom]
Currently shopping info on how to make riding in my future 77 custom as smooth as possible. Also as it sits now the truck has a bit of a dip, between the cab and the bed. While I have seen this before I am unsure of the remedy. Any and All help will be greatly appreciated as Always. Thanks

First of all, I would inspect the frame for any anomalies (cracks, rust, etc.), then move onto the cab and bed mount insulators looking for dry rot and rust around the mounts themselves. Start with the basics, then move towards suspension modifications.

A significant dip sounds like a frame issue. Not good.
A truck that old to ride "smooth as silk" is going to require a significant amount of parts, time, and money. Start with all the bushings.
