New Leaf Springs? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have had trouble finding a company that makes new leafs for the 59. I have found several that cover other years???? Have any of you guys bought new ones for your trucks? If so where did you get them and how was the quality? I would rather not use the ones that are on mine.

Thanks

Thanks again,
Shawn

They are available in 7,8 and 9 leaf variations. I am not planning on doing any hauling so I only asked about the 7 leaf ones. In stock for $379 a pair + tax and shipping from Detroit.

Glad to see you are still around

Mainly following 67-72 stuff as that is the next project.
