3 leaf front 1/2 ton springs
Was a 3 leaf front spring available from the factory on 78 4x4 shortbed 1/2 ton?

Re: 3 leaf front 1/2 ton springs
I don't think so on a short bed, but the 3 leaf pack will bolt right in. I've got a 4 leaf pack on my 1 ton.

Re: 3 leaf front 1/2 ton springs
I don't know if it was the same for later years but I have a couple 1971 blazers. One was a factory six cylinder and it came with two leafs in front, the other was a factory v8 and it came with three.

Re: 3 leaf front 1/2 ton springs
One of the guys I work with restored the shortbed and was applying for classic plates. He was turned down because the DMV said it was lifted. That's why I asked the question. All he has is the 3 leaf front springs and heavy duty rears. Since he is using stock 78 components I figured he shouldn't have been rejected.

Re: 3 leaf front 1/2 ton springs
Around here it doesn't matter if the vehicle is modified...as long as it is old enough. They don't even look at the vehicle.

Re: 3 leaf front 1/2 ton springs
If the option sheet shows Heavy duty suspension, then maybe he can show the DMV and they will ok it...
