Re: '68 Leafs vs '64 Leafs

The front segment of the 68 spring is a different length from the 64.  You can order a new front spring hanger to do the swap.   However, ESPO will build you NEW springs for the 64 & ship them right to your door. I have a set of their HD +1" on my 64 Sport Fury.  Rides great,       If the springs from 68 aren't new ( or nearly new)  I would opt for ESPO's deal!    The 68 rear will bolt in.    Goog luck!

Subject: '68 Leafs vs '64 Leafs


Does anyone happen to know if a set of leaf springs from a '68 GTX will fit on my '64 Belvedere?  I'm going to look at a complete rearend I found that I'm probably going to buy to swap in from the '68, and I wondered about the springs too.  So far I've heard one opinion of "I don't think so", but I'm figuring someone on here probably knows for sure.  My crude measurements of my springs tell me they're right about 54" from spring eye to spring eye straight across.  But I'm thinking there's more to it than that.

Thanks in advance.

Dave
