My advice for him is go ahead with the cal trac/mono leaf setup. I wouldn't suggest SS springs, because as long as you're spending money go with the better technology available today. The only alternative I would suggest is stock springs from a 340 car if he can get em cheap, or work out his modified /6 springs to be the equivalent to them.

His first order of business is get that pinion angle right and some longer shocks. SS springs won't help a damn bit if those 2 things are still wrong.

Exactly!!

Another trick you might want to try is this, it is very cheap, put in some 1/8 or 1/4" thick bar stock on the top of the front segment of the springs (both side), from the back part of the front eye too the front of the spring purch, clamp it all down, at least 3 clamps on each side, fix your pinion angle, longer shocks, make sure the rear hangers are positioned right, you won't be out much $$$, you can also try the snubber, but set it at least 1/4" away from the floor, no more, but try it without the snubber 1st.
