Where can i purchase leaf springs for a 55 second series. The front of the pickup has a 1978 Camaro suspension. I think the rear is the original with someone installing a newer axel and rear end.

Total length would be 52" center of eye to center of eye. Mike B  | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 334 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2005 Posts: 334 | St. Louis Spring can fix you up. I have bought 2 sets of springs from them (two different trucks) and was very pleased. Please note that I am not in any way affiliated with them, just a happy customer.
