I dont want to name any names here in pu...Hi Stuey<br /><br />I dont want to name any names here in public, as they after all stepped up and made a full refund, BUT, if you shoot me an e-mail (you have it up in the right hand corner on every webpage) you can have all of the details over there.<br /><br />Regarding stock springs it feels abit like a gambling if one order aftermarket parts. I gave up and ordered NOS stock springs by Dennis Carpenter. However a search on the part# on google will give you a few company that might still have them. There are two types of NOS springs. <br /><br />1: The factory stock original springs has the partnumber and Fomoco logo stamped in on the second to last leaf.<br /><br />2: Then you have the service replacement springs, that counts as NOS but can be made by any spring manufacturer for FORD. <br /><br />Both springs has then same dimensions and spring rates but they appear to be designed in two seperate ways.<br /><br />Stock NOS, has pretty much the same arc on all leafs, this will under ordinary load have the highest stresses on the main leaf<br /><br />Service replacement NOS: Do not have the same arc on each leafspring but will have the same total arc when assembled as the Factory NOS spring. This spring is a bit harder to assemble then the Factory NOS but will have a better service life of the main and second leaf. These spring can be identified (most probably) <br />by the fact that the partnumber is painted on top of the main leaf.<br />Jimmy Carlssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04952213189960281002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015671280419822763.post-89580474884546406442015-03-14T10:03:55.444+01:002015-03-14T10:03:55.444+01:00very interesting tale Jimmy.
we still use cheques ...very interesting tale Jimmy.<br />we still use cheques over in the UK but they are slowly being phased out.<br />When I started on my truck I got talked into reverse eye lowered monoleafs and ended up with about 1/2" suspension travel so I will be in the market for near original springs so would appreciate it if you could name names. I got them from Midfiftys (it was my fault for not doing enough homework not Midfiftys)<br />I am wondering, if I could obtain dimensions/parameters if a local spring manufacturer could make them.<br />Love what you are doing.
