Leaf Spring Restoration
Created on 2009-11-06 11:39:56
I cleaned up the leaf springs out of the 73 to put in the B. They are the ones to the left in the pic, the one on the right is the original out of the 74. The 73 spring has one less leaf and the metal seems a little less beefy. It's hard to tell by the pic but the 74 spring also has a little more of a bow to it. I'm hoping the ride level will be a little lower with the 73 springs in. New Gabriel shocks were bought yesterday for a less harsh ride and the brake drums were dropped off to be turned before they are put back on the rear end.
