Sweet! glad something interchanges with GM

From the thread about the '55 build-up, this is what you asking about.

Yes, its quite common to see the bigger trucks with flat front springs from years of over loading. My Loadstar was like that when it first came to this farm in 84. A good spring and frame shop re-arched the front springs and added a leaf. It sure made it look different and sit up high. That was almost 25 years ago and thousands of bushels of grain hauled on it has not flattened them out. I should really post some before and after pictures of the truck.

That'd be awesome

If you do get the Springs re-arched and they disassemble the sets...be a good time to clean them up and paint them. Not sure if the re-arching shops do that or not. My 2 cents.

My leaf springs need to be replaced and I'm having a of a time finding replacements. Anyone knows where I can get replacements? Or if chevy, ford. or GMC has compatible springs.

Car Quest and Napa can get them. they come in 4, 6 8 and ten lug, and they are not expensive.

I don't know but I think a good spring shop could custom build you whatever springs you need for your truck.

Check out this company for springs.
