Jim: I have a 55-1st P U with new rear springs. Local builder remove to 5
high with plastic buttons between the leafs. Did lower the truck couple
inches as indicated by the supplier.
IFS with these 5 high rear springs & I think it rides not bad for a short
wheeled P U - not like my Yukon-XL but pretty good - don't think it will
haul much weight but could go to helper/with load additional springs as the
old days making 3/4 out of 1/2 tons

Subject: Re: [Oletrucks] Rear leaf springs
I have a 1957 Task Force Pickup and wanted to make the ride more smooth in
the rear. I know there are more leaf springs in the rear of the truck and
was wondering if anybody had ever taken some out to make the ride a little
less bumpy?
Thanks,
Jim--Foxborough, Mass
