| | | | Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 20 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 20 | My 49 pickup 1/2 ton has front leaf springs that have about a 60 degree bend down at the front end just before the mounting bolt. I've not seen this shape spring before. The others have all been the standard quarter moon shape with no variation. Are these springs correct for my pickup or should I search for others? I have taken pictures of them but don't know how to post to this site. I can email pics to anyone that would be able to help me out.
TIA
