There is a section for front suspension and another for rear...lots of info to correctly identify parts and show how they come apart. When it gets too confusing, come back to the Stovebolt and asks the X-Spurts!  http://chevy.tocmp.com/1948_51truckshop/index.htm Stuart | | |

The rear end of the front springs are held in with a bolt. First remove the locknut and lock washer from the inside. Then turn the bolt out from the outside, then push it out the rest of the way with a punch.
The axle and springs should now be sitting on the floor.
