coil to leaf and frame width questions
I have a 1972 C10 that has a coil spring rear. I want to convert it to a leaf spring suspension and use a 14 bolt FF axle from the 73-87 trucks. I measured the rear of the frame and it measured just a bit more than 34", I believe that's the same width as the 73+ trucks. I have many spring hangers that I've saved from 73+ trucks so the shackle mount should be a direct fit.
What about the front spring mount for the rear spring? Is the frame the same width there as it is in the rear?
I remember seeing a website that has a truck in their showroom with a coil spring on one side and leaf spring on the other on the same truck, anyone have a link?
Does anyone have a picture showing where the front spring hanger for the rear spring mounts on the frame for a 4x4 truck?
