Stovebolt.com Forums The Shop Area Driveline Suspension height

I have a 1950 gmc 1/2 ton which sat in a barn for 24 years. The truck has high ride height and doesn’t have much bounce in the rear suspension. Is there a chance that the spring bushings are seized and not letting the suspension work. Any suggestions would be helpful
Thank you bob

All of the spring bushings have grease nipples grease them up for starters then maybe have someone bounce in the back box as someone looks .Maybee a shock absorber

It probably has had leaves added to the rear springs. That was very common back on old farm trucks. I had a 40 1/2 ton that had a whole stack of leaves in the rear springs. The guy used to haul his bull in it. You sometimes can tell aftermarket leaves from the original. The after market leaves are blunt on the ends, often cut with a torch. The original are taped om the ends.

It was a seized shock absorber. Thanks for your help
