Quote: Found a donor truck for the rear leaf springs, made the deal and will pull them next week, $45 per side, a great deal
I was thinking this would be a good opportunity to update the rear leafs. Not sure on trucks, but pass cars of that era have some honking thick spring packs that are 2" wide. That donor being a tow truck of some sort probably had even stouter spring packs.
But the price is good.
Theses springs in these years are only 1 3/4 inch wide, the ones on this tow truck have as many leafs as mine, I will post a side by side pic when I do the swap
