leaf springs

[79bonanza]

ok so im low on funds and just need to get my frame rolling so i planed on making some arches out of some square tubing i have laying around just so i can put my axle back under the truck and get it rolling until i can get some 56's.

Does anyone know how far from the bottom of the leaf spring pack to the bolt holes in the end is? any ideas will be helpful thanks

Just go get yourself the 56"s there pretty cheap in the local junkyards and this way this done right

****! if you were closer, I'd just give you the 56 rears and the stockers under the front of my crewcab

i realize you said youre broke, but hell you could take back a weeks worth of beer cans, and have enough money to buy the springs...

I think they were like 12 bucks apiece when i got em from a junkyard.



* oh wait. you cant return cans for money in kentucky can you>?

I just went down and roughly measured mine, Id say about 5 1/2" with the springs installed...

I understand budgets, but you'll spend more on tubing to make replacement spacers in place of springs.

Hold off until you can buy used springs.
