Need front coil spring info for 72 C10
I recently bought a 1972 C10 and my front springs have been cut to lower the truck. However the previous owner did a terrible butcher job on them and they are actually cut 2 different heights.
So I was hoping that someone could tell me what the stock height is for a front coil spring for a 1972 C10. Thanks!

You can buy brand new coils from your local NAPA store

I understand I can do that but I would like to know how much mine have been cut so I can buy a pair that will be similar in ride height then.

Napa website gives all the specs for the springs. Look up your truck. It will give spring rate,height and diameter of coil and outside diameter of the whole spring. For stock springs 1/2 3/4 1ton. Found it very usefull for getting the springs right for my c/30. |
