WTB 4x4 spring packs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My frame is going to the paint shop in the next few weeks and I need to find a set of front (2 leaf) springs both sides and a set of rear (5 leaf) springs for my 1972 1/2 ton 4x4 . Does anyone have an idea about best place to buy new or a set of good to very good used springs. I would consider buying a 2 inch lift springs if ness. but no more than that (want the stock look). Let me know what you have- I would be willing to go to SC, Tenn, GA or Eastern NC. Thanks Harold

Bill I have bought stuff off of you before, we met at the Walmart in Johnson City a couple of times (headliner and front and rear chrome bumpers) just after my little girl was born and just before your grandson was born. I live just west of Asheville. What do you have? Let me know thanks Harold

You can also buy new springs from a Spring Shop in most major cities. You should be able to order stock and HD. Just a thought.

I have two front ones off my 70 3/4 Suburban If they are the same come get them.

billsbowtie · 03-27-2008, 04:30 AM

harold i thought that was you but was not sure. i know a guy that has some 4wd stuff in ky. i will have to see if he has what you need and a price.

billsbowtie · 03-27-2008, 04:32 AM

are these for a truck or blazer ? and are truck and blazer the same?

71 super · 03-27-2008, 05:44 AM

They are for a truck K10 if it matters. I "think" that 1/2 ton and 3/4 front springs are the same, but no sure if the width on 70 is same as 72. High RPM were is davidson exactly? I will be playing ball in Rock Hill SC next weekend and if you are close by maybe I can slip away or come by Sunday if they will work. Thanks harold

Im about 30 miles North of Charlotte near Mooresville.
If you want I can take some measurements to see if they are the same.

highrpm, sounds good if you don't mind. Bill have you been able to get ahold of your friend/contact? Thanks Harold

billsbowtie · 03-28-2008, 06:51 AM

no i haven't harold i think his parts are off of a blazer anyway. i will watch this tread and if you don't find any i will try to find out what he has. his dad is in the hospital and he has not been home much so he is hard to get ahold of right now. sorry i can't help you more. bill

No problem, Down South sent me a message and he might have an extra set or two, so I have a couple of leads. Thank you to all that have replied, Harold.
