Bjstrudy 'Bolter B Joined: Jul 2023 Posts: 17 Milton, Florida	Im replacing the leaf springs on my truck. Im looking for recommendations from someone who’s experienced. Im finding them for 109.00 to 250.00 a piece. Is there a significant quality difference? Partsgeek has them for 112.00 a piece with about 20.00 shipping. Appreciate any insight Bill Last edited by Peggy M; 09/05/2023 3:12 AM. The wife says the weakest part of any old truck is the nut that holds the steering wheel.

From there, we guide you along (meaning move) to the Shops Area or appropriate forums. ~ Peggy M 1949 Chevrolet 3804 "Charlie" - The Stovebolt Flagship In the Gallery \|\| In the Gallery Forum "I didn't see this one coming.

I am thinking I will get a set for the rear also. Sometimes a higher price means better and sometimes just a higher price. ~ William Moore 1950 Chevy 3100 Truck Tuesday Reports "Bringing 'OId Blue' Back to Life" Follow this story in the DITY Gallery

I put a set on mine, and am satisfied with em. USA would have been better, but at least they aren’t chinese Last edited by Bjstrudy; 09/27/2023 8:47 PM.
