77f250 leaf spring
Posted by jjmiest@reddit | projectcar | View on Reddit | 8 comments
77 f250 custom crew cab. This truck has been in my family since new and I want to get it back on the road. Any idea where I can get the correct 11 leaf spring for the rear? Will I have to replace both sides? I am located in SW MN.

Husky Spring is in Saint Cloud and Minneapolis. They have a decent selection and might even be able to do custom stuff.

Man I love that truck!

Thanks! She is in pretty good shape considering she was a farm truck all her life and put on her side a time or two! We call her Big Red!

I love hearing about family vehicles being kept in the family like that, I would never let it go if I were you.

I looked at replacing springs on my 75 F250. This place has a pretty good selection. https://www.generalspringkc.com If you have questions on which one to get for yours, I'm sure they would help if you called them. You'll want to replace both sides, as your truck will lean to one side if you don't.

Thank you much! The quick search result is not coming up with an 11 leaf, but I will have to give them a call.

Yep, always replace both on these old trucks. Do some shocks while you're under there as well. Might as well do the fronts at the same time.
Hell, why not rebuild the motor too? The snowball effect is strong on the classics lol

Haha, very tempting! Eventually I plan to redo the whole thing
