Anyone have a set of leaf springs for a 4x4? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**68350** · 07-20-2005, 08:10 PM

I am looking for a 5 leaf rear, 3 leaf front set-up for my 70' 4x4. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe 67-72 are the same. I would like a set for a reasonable price as shipping is spendy(from what I have heard).

I have two sets for the front . They are both 3 leaf one is half ton and the other for 3/4 ton . Front leafs will fit from 67 to 72 , rear springs are 67/68 only and 69/72 only . Shipping for the front could be very spendy as i am located in Salem , Oregon . It would prolly be cheaper if you found a set close to you . Jose

**68350** · 07-20-2005, 08:30 PM

hi, what do you want for the 1/2 ton fronts? Thanks

jose · 07-20-2005, 08:45 PM

68350 I would take 60.00 plus shipping . Jose

**68350** · 07-20-2005, 09:23 PM

Any cracks or damage? I can check shipping...

**68350** · 07-20-2005, 09:30 PM

I checked shipping at 50 lbs. per spring and it came to 30 bucks per spring. When I bought my heavy duty rear leafs for my duster, mancini racing just sent them with an address label, attached and taped really good, right on the spring. Do you think it could be shipped like this? If at all possible, if no damage(you don't know if they're sagged, do you), could you check shipping? Thanks a bunch.

jose · 07-20-2005, 09:49 PM

They were not sagging when i took them of and there is no cracks on them . If you want them i can box them up and take them to Fed-Ex to figure shipping . I think they do weigh right around 100 pounds put together . Well let me know

**68350** · 07-20-2005, 10:09 PM

That would be great, fed ex or even ups. One thing though, mancini racing sent them unboxed, it was just a leaf spring with an address label. Yeah, if you could check shipping for me, thanks

I have a set of leaf srpings. The fronts have a lift to them, I would guess 4". The rear are stock, but I do have 4" blocks.
I may be able to get them a bit closer to you for minimal $$ if you are intested.

jose · 07-20-2005, 10:22 PM

No problem on boxing them up . I'll box them in the morning and get back to you tomorrow afternoon . Jose

**68350** · 07-20-2005, 10:41 PM

71swb4x4, I am interested in the rears. Any damage or known sagging? How much? Thanks

71swb4x4 · 07-20-2005, 10:52 PM

They are on a Blazer frame with no body. I don't believe that they have any sag. The Blazer was from MN. I have one picture of it with the body on, but it's a bad angle. Keep in mind that in this picture it has 4" blocks in the rear.
The springs do have some surface rust. I will get you pictures of the springs, but it won't be within the next week. The frame is at my brother-in-laws house, about 20 minutes away. I will be gone this weekend so I won't be able to make it out there for at least a week.
$50 would make me happy. I do make it to Bismarck once a year, but I likely won't get there until October this year. Shipping may not be too bad from here. Do you ever make it towards my area? I am in Eastern SD, about 2.5 hours South of Fargo.

**68350** · 07-20-2005, 11:23 PM

71swb4x4, if I don't find anything in the next week, I will let you know. thanks

71swb4x4 · 07-21-2005, 01:13 PM

No problem at all.
You may want to contact Jeffbo, he is a member in Brookings as well. I think he is parting a 71, but I am not sure if it's leaf or coils.

jose · 07-21-2005, 01:20 PM

68350 Shipping to Williston , ND thru Fed-Ex will be 35.00 . I did add a few bucks for fuel and my time . Realy surprised me on shipping thats not to bad . Springs weighed 71 pounds boxed up , Well let me know . Jose

**68350** · 07-21-2005, 09:21 PM
