62 rear coil springs

Where to find 3 in drop rear coils for the 62. Everything I find is 63 up. Will these work or does somebody carry them?

Yeah, only, difference is that the later models had a "progressive rate" type spring, so the spacing between coils is different.

Re: 62 rear coil springs

Check McGaughys in Fresno California. U.S. Made and they will fit the 60-62 trucks without a problem. They have different height options. Look up Bel Air Tim on EBay, he sells them even if they aren't listed at the moment.
