S10 springs on rear of 59 chevy truck?
New to the forum and need suggestions on what I could use to replace the original rear leaf springs on my 59 3100 pickup. I am trying to get by as cheaply as possible, and know that I will have to fabricate new spring brackets if I use a later model 2 1/2" leaf spring. I have been looking at an S10 spring, but don't know if the spring rate would be heavy enough. Any suggestions?

I am going to move this to the 47-59 forum to see if you can get an answer.

59 original springs
http://www.generalspringkc.com/index...parent=12&pg=1 s10's http://www.generalspringkc.com/index...arent=111&pg=1 To answer your question, no it won't work because all S10's are 2.5"
