needed: front coil spring - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

67swbc10 · 07-10-2003, 03:03 PM

I was wondering if anyone has one or a set of used front coil springs in good condition that they dont need anymore. I found that one of mine was broke and want to replace it while im converting it to disc up front.
Thanks
Mario

I live in Lancaster just outside of dallas city limits I can litterally walk down the street and be in dallas. How much would you want for the springs. I would need them hopefully by saturday So i can get them cleaned up and painted and do the swap that evening or sunday.
Thanks

Shipping can be pricey on coils. I picked up a set on e-bay and shipping was more than what I payed for them (I still saved about $25 over the cost of a new set). The good thing about front springs is you can get them off a lot of GM products. Don't limit yourself to just 67-72 trucks. This is what Hollanders shows will fit:
BLAZER/JIMMY (full size) 69-82 Front
CHEVROLET FORWARD CONTROL 63-93 Front
CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK 63-87 Front
CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK 88-91 Front; VIN model "R"
CHEVROLET VAN 64-95 Front
CHEVROLET VAN 96 Front; exc. Express
GMC FORWARD CONTROL 67-93 Front
GMC PICKUP TRUCK 67-87 Front
GMC PICKUP TRUCK 88-91 Front; VIN model "R"
GMC VAN 67-95 Front
GMC VAN 96 Front; exc. Savana
SUBURBAN 63-87 Front
SUBURBAN 88-91 Front; VIN model "R"

The springs can come from a 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton or 1 ton. They all fit but have different spring rates. You will probably want to stay with a 1/2 ton rated spring. I am sure you can find a used set local.
