If I remember correctly, front springs are the same on 1/2 and 3/4. Rears are totally different between the two.

My flatbed also has overloads in addition to standard set. Flatbeds are heavy.


It's easier to get forgiveness than permission!

New springs are available for your truck. I bought springs from SDTRuckSprings for my '51 burb. Very satisfied. I think the front springs are the same between the 1/2 ton and 3/4. At least the part numbers are the same.
