MI WTB 67-68 4x4 rear leaf spring plate - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**mikesjaarda** · 01-04-2018, 05:33 PM

I'm looking for one top plate for rear leafs on a 67-68 4x4 1/2 ton. Longshot but also looking for a decent set of tapered 67-68 rear leaf springs as mine are both cracked. If not I will have to have some made.

I have some plates and springs just not sure what shipping would be!!! oh and the spring length needed? I think mine are 56"

Shipping might be steep. Could u send me a couple pics? I believe these springs are like 58 inches. They are the tapered 3 inch wide at the ends. 2 leaf

You could also convert to a newer spring, but that would require moving mounts.

Ok so I have the leafs that I added”add a leafs” to because I wanted a little more height. But decided to lift the truck 4” so I removed them. I thought I had the top plates but I can’t find them. So all I have are springs and rear shackles.

If you check out my “Hulk jr build in my signature you will see what I did early on with the leafs.

If you want to go with a newer year spring(2-1/2” wide) you will have to change the rear shackles and make spacers for the front of the rear leaf spring mount. Or get extra wide bushings and sleeves which is what I did.
I ordered my springs 58”

I got a 67 k10 frame going under the knife this week. It has good plates. I will check springs. I know one spring has a cracked eye and I cant remember if its a front or back spring.
