WTB Leaf spring Rear End
I'm looking for a Leaf spring Rear End for my sons 72 GMC 1/2 ton short step. It needs to be complete with springs , not to picky about gear ratio. Needs to be in Ca so I can pick up. Any body know where I might find one in the Bay area ?? I'm in Pittsburg Ca and willing to travel ~100 miles for it as long as its in good working condition

Thanks

Steve

OK I'm ready to talk shipping if anybody has a good one and is willing to ship

I've got a rolling chassis from a 67 GMC w/12 bolt, 6-lug, leaf spring rear & have the leafs. I'm in Tx so if you don't have any luck closer to home......

Yellow Cheyenne · 04-14-2004, 04:52 PM

I believe the spring perches are different widths for 2 wheel drive compared to 4 x 4. You may want to list which one you have.

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 04-14-2004, 05:22 PM

You my be right. Its 2 wheel drive

SCOTI · 04-14-2004, 05:36 PM

2wd rolling chassis.

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 04-14-2004, 05:46 PM

Thanks SCOTI I'll look closer to home for a while longer. Would you be willing to ship just the springs.? Are they the same 67 to 72??? If so how many $$$

SCOTI · 04-14-2004, 08:08 PM

Yea, I know I'm far away. I just thought I would toss this out there JIC you couldn't find anything closer.

Currently the rear-housing & springs are still attached to the the rolling chassis which @ this time still needs to be able to roll. If you can't find anything in the near future, drop me a PM.

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 04-15-2004, 10:57 AM

Thnks SCOTI. Pm sent
Anybody else closer to home

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 04-15-2004, 05:09 PM

Dont want to get your hopes up but I will have one when I change my rear end out. Its a 4:11 posi leaf rear out of my 70 short/step. When I get it changed I will have to use my springs so there wont be any with the rear when I do change it. I dont see myself getting to do it for at least a month. I had to find what I was looking for in Wash state. Didnt find much around here. I was looking for a 3:07 posi and found it but its for coil so I will have to change over the rear to leafs. I will use new perches and shock mounts so I wont be hacking anything off of mine, so it will be complete less springs. Hope this might help you. BTW, I'm in stockton....less than an hour from you.
