yep the town name of horseheads new york dates back to the civil war days .

its also in the heavy north east rust belt of the usa .

the area is located in the upstate new york region and my zip code is 14845 .

i am 20 min from watkins glen race track home of the famous road race course for nascar and indy and scca racing . i am 10 min from the soaring capital of the world in big flats new york . this area has a rich history for sure . . . but sadly economically depressed for years .

oh ya and i am 1.5hr south of rochester new york . . . .ha ha ha

Just throwing this out there so you know. A worn out used spring is usually taller than a new spring when comparing them. Not talking about cut or torched springs tho.

Thank you.

My new springs for 1981 C-10 were a little under 14 inches when sitting on the ground.

Way off topic but my mom ran a bar and motel in Horseheads in the mid to late 70s. I was born in Olean and lived in Cuba for the first 8 years of life.
