All this talk of gooseneck trailers reminds me of a problem I am facing. I will be hauling my '46 to the ATHS Convention in AL in May behind the '72 GMC. The rear springs are very stiff and am afraid that the harsh ride could be be rough on the gooseneck on my trailer. I was reading on another forum where guys are removing leaves from the sring pack to get a better ride. One guy went from 12 to 3 leaves on his B model Mack and is very happy with the ride. Does any one here have any experience with something like this? How many to remove and which ones? One guy cut the ends off leaving only a short piece to act as a spacer and other people have install blocks to replace the missing spring thickness. I don't want to do anything that would make the remaining leaves unsave and this truck will never haul anything heavier than my little gn. Not cutting the springs sounds like a better way to go so if I ever sold the truck the new owner would be able to put them back.

I've got a trailer and I'm not afraid to use it!
