Chrysler believed that an I-beam axle/leaf spring front suspension system was simpler, more durable and better suited to truck usage than competitive independent front suspension arrangements on the market in the late 1960s. Dodge was also aware of the rough-riding reputation attached to the leaf spring design. To achieve the best of both worlds, the company introduced “Cushioned Beam” suspension in 1969. While retaining the inherent toughness of the I-Bean axle, it softened the ride by using nylon interliners between the leave springs and added a standard anti-sway bar to resist “corner lean.” The new front suspension system used by Dodge from 1969 through 1971 produced what is possibly the best-handling solid-axle truck from any manufacturer.

i had a datsun 620 from the 1970's for a while as a beater truck, and it didn't even have power steering. other than being durable, it was kind of a piece of shit to actually drive. only four speeds, too.
