1955first6500 'Bolter 1 Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 128 MO	i have a broken main leaf on the pass. front of my 55' first series 2 ton. ive contacted what was Chevy Duty and Jim Carters with no help in finding a replacement, i also spoke with KC Spring of Kansas City,MO and still drew a blank. Any one have any suggestions in replacing the main leafs or both front springs? im in the kcmo area. thanks in advance.

Also do a search on this site, we have discussed having stock or custom springs made several times. I was and am very happy with Eaton Detroit Spring, but you have other choices that may be as good or better.
