I had the thought of replacing the rear leafs on a small truck like my Ranger and adapting a transverse leaf parallel with the rear axle. If the one from the Vette's could be used or modified, at around 8-10 lbs, they would be a great weight reduction. I can only imagine what steel leafs weigh. That and losing two of them and replacing it with a single one.

You could theoretically move the rear wheels inward almost to the bed box on a step side like mine, though I'm not sure how it would track with the front and rear wheels being offset like that. Would make room for some interesting "boat-tail" rear body work.
