The Canadian Buy and Sell type papers seem to show more 3/4 Ton Chevy AD trucks for sale (no half tons at this time). Could one of you fellas tell me if 1/2 ton leaf springs could be used under a 3/4 ton truck without fabricating anything? Could you use stock hangers, etc? Obviously, a 1/2 ton front axle would also go under there, as well as some type of late model car differential. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Wannabe smile

The front springs are the same and the rear springs are different.

Thanks for the response, tclederman. I'm guessing that you mean the rears are heavier to add payload capacity, and I'd only have to change out the rears?
