Swapping out bent parts
I got lucky and found what I'm always looking for... good used take-off parts for someone doing an upgrade. A local guy was swapping to a crown vic front and had his front axle and springs up or $50...it had newer brake lines and shoes, so it pretty much paid for itself!
Come to find out the eyes of my leaf springs were toast, and the springs that came with this axle were in good shape still... so I got a whole lot value out of this purchase and saved some time doing the front brakes.
Check out how worn these spring bolts are!!! NOS bolts from ebay are on their way.
