Re: Leaf spring questions
Well I never did get those bolts to come out so I cut it off flush and then just carefully drilled the pieces out. Was real easy. Just don't drill too deep!
 I saw new bolts in a catalog somewhere (Classic Chevy possibly) with the round head but all I did was use grade 8 bolts that I rounded the head off so it fit into the hole. The part on the top of the springs I found in a junkyard on another 69 C30. They were actually big metal blocks but mine rusted away as shown. I also got the lower shackle parts from that truck. I bought new grade 8 U bolts from Rock auto which completed the job. Bob
