Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

Got the leaf springs and overloads last night and they are in the back of my truck awaiting tear down and repainting. Going to have to get some new square u bolts made for em tho the ole bugger took a cutting torch to a few of them luckily I have one or two that are untouched to get new ones made from. What I got was a factory 7 spring pack plus factory additional 4 overload springs with a spacer block assembly to get them all to work together. Will be posting more pics in next few weeks when I get things started with them. First thing is to get a 20 foot roll of teflon liner for when they are painted and ready to reassembly. Also need to find some bolt on fan shackles for each end of them as well. Another issue I found out is no one makes the rubber subbers for this width leaf spring anymore so I am making my own with some things from elliots hardware stor lol so far they look like they will serve and work nicely! Seats are also both installed but have a little rub between them and the center console rather annoying sounds like a bad case of gas lol. May have to make the holes in the floor board a bit longer to get a little clearance between seat and console setup.
