Local Spring Shop, that's all they do!

[aerotruk63]

Had to bring the company Peterbuilt into a small local spring shop for a eyelet bushing change. The 4 guys working there all interact with each job that comes in. They were nice enough to let me take pictures of their equipment and stock.

In stock U-bolts of various diameters and one side of their press for forming leaf springs. Their forge is in another section of the shop with a strut compressor and lathe.





The other side of the press where they form the U-bolts.



Their iron horse, shear for cutting leaf springs to length and trim.



Leafs and more leafs at the ready.



Shackles , perches, bushings, bolts, nuts and pins everywhere. Firestone Air Ride and Timbren Rubber Springs.



Neat old Air Lift poster.



Not a great shot but they had these massive I beams running across the roof to support the wooden roof deck, but the trucks got taller, so they notched the I beams and welded in a new web that's looks like an inch thick.
