Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100

At the local hardware store there is a display that shows probably 200 springs of different sizes with the standard number. I tried to find a link on line but could not. I just take the damaged spring down and usually find one exactly like it. Reason is designers use the standard to order off the shelf parts, cheaper than starting from scratch. If you have an Ace Hardware affilated store in your area or someone else that carrys Century Company springs you might look to see if you can just get the springs.
