Re: Spring pack dissassembled (lots of pics)

by buying i mean the entire leaf assembly (as if i pulled it off the pivot shaft and front shackle myself) I would have to pull these off a frame myself so im gonna go on the low side of a price since i gotta do the work. i dont plan to sell mine. I'm trying to get 2 good spring assemblies to use......

Re: Left rear spring finished.

Awesome drawing Neil, im wondering if for the hour glass shape is to trap whatever grease/slip plate/ lubricant between the leafs so as they wear it eventually will squish out. When i disassembled my rear leafs i had an odd amount of black/grey powdery dust trapped between them. Kinda resembled grap...

Front crossmember woes

Well as a go over some final areas that need attention before sandblasting i find more and more. I posted over at fordbarn about what if anything can be done to re strengthen/repair front crossmembers and some say certain repairs they said mine would be much easier to find a replacement. I think i n...

Re: I need help figuring out what's right and wrong

Im not sure but the rear springs look different...by that i mean the whole setup of how the axle mounts to them etc. Just seem kinda thin/lacking leafs too... Obviously the ammeter isnt correct nor is the LED sidemarker light or reflector by the seat. Im unsure of how they did the wiring and switche...
