Re: 1968 Chevy C50 leaf spring replacement
I bought it off of a gentleman who bought it off a farmer, so I am the 3rd owner. Overall, its in great shape. I found a inspection ticket from the 90s that showed it was well cared for.
There is a little rust on the front fenders where it meets the extensions. But I must confess, I did put a little effort in cleaning it up. I washed, clay bar'ed, and applied a few elbow grease sessions with meguiars #7. It has done wonders to reviving the old original paint.
I use it to haul wood and other larger things from time to time but I've mostly taken it to local car shows. My wife and I laugh as it actually draws quite a bit attention. Who would have thought an old grain truck could be cool too.
