Wanted: Rear Leaf Springs for '82 C10 LB - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**bwood** · 09-12-2003, 08:59 PM

I trying to find some leaf springs for a '82 C10 LB 2wd 1/2 ton. The truck belongs to a friends son, he bought it lowered, but the guys that lowered it apparently didn't care about the ride. They cut the front springs so short that the front end rode on the bump stops all of the time. We replaced the front coils with new ones from O'reilly's. The back springs have four leaves and the top ones have been heated and bent up to touch the box frame for the bed and is tearing up the bottom of the bed. I live north of the Dallas/ Fort Worth, Texas area. Can get brand new ones for around $100 from JC Whintney and the few wrecking yards around here want up to $40 each. We are trying to fix it up without breaking his wallet. If anyone has a set they would like to part with for not too much, let me know.

I just took my stock ones off my 84 to airbag it, and I would sell them to you for 20 a piece, but shipping would be tremendous I think.

matt67350, I know a guy who is intrested in the 12 bolt. What gears are in it, and is it limited slip or posi? Did these come off a 3/4 or 1 ton and if they did will they work on a 1/2 ton?
