Coil Spring Question
Hello all...My '72 C-20 has listed on the SPID an "IG5010 Heavy Rear Sring". Is this just a beefier rear coil spring or does it imply that it might have had the 2-leaf auxiliary helper springs on it at one time. Thanks for any info.

Re: Coil Spring Question
Hey...Thanks for the quick reply...I do have the lower (axle mounted) aux spring brackets. Was the auxiliary rear spring an uncommon option? I am redoing this truck to pull my Restored Farmall tractors around with, so any help with the rear suspension is a goal of mine. Thanks again.

Re: Coil Spring Question
My SWB '69 had 2000-lb cap'y coils on the rear, when new. Uhh, it rode rough. New coils from ECE....took care of the problem.
