If I swap in an open rear in a '53 3100, will I also need to replace the leaf springs with wider ones? I ask because I was told that I would have to do so on my '51 Chevy Fleetline when I was contemplating the same type of a swap, but I don't know if it's different for a truck.

If I do, what springs are best, and does anyone make aftermarket front mount and shackles?

Thanks...

Chris
