OK,here's my question.I'm rebuilding a 1960 LB stepside.I've got 2 trucks for this,one runs,the other is a donor.The chassis I'm rebuilding has what I beleive is an overload spring that goes over the top of the rearend.My driver truck doesn't have this.Was this an option,or did they all have and the one on my driver just get tossed sometime? | | |

Yep, probably an option or add-on to get a little more weight on the truck. I took mine off, but they had done a lot of work over the years. | | |

nc c10 ,fan it hits the bottom of the frame,not the trailing arms. | | |
