Stop in for a cup of coffee

somewhere I got the impression that passenger side leaf springs have one more leaf than the driver side ????

I went to put a leaf spring in and I thought it was the passenger side but the front shackle bolt hits the frame rail ......so now I don't remember what side it came from on the donor car.

wouldn't it make sense that the front shackle bolts should be oriented so the bolt head goes towards the frame rail to not interfere and the nut and the excess bolt length would point out to not interfere or get too close to the frame rail ???

Yes, the nuts go toward the outside of the car so they don't interfere with the frame...
 
does anyone sell new original style rear end U-bolts ??

the originals have a "saddle" on the top the hugs the axle tube .......most U-bolts are just "U"ed bolts, there is no saddle on the top and that bothers me because I am going to do more than one car and they all have to match to pass the bolt audit, so I need original style U-bolts

Try Espo springs-n-things.

I'm not positive, but I think theirs have the "flare" where the bend is flatter than the round part of the bolt...
 
Good day all!:coffee2: TGIF..... Notice came for a package I must pick up from the Post Office....holding thumbs:D

Busy two weeks ahead: I've taken leave, my brother and his family from the UK are visiting! My little niece is 3 years old, I 've only seen her once since birth....some spoiling to do.:blob:

Have a blessed day! Hope to post pics wearing a T later...

Ters.


Have fun... :D
 

Yes my hemi sport fury came from the factory that way. Think torque.

Yes, the pass side gets more torque, so you need a stiffer spring on that side.

Not all cars came with an extra leaf... I think some "non perf" suspensions got equal # of leafs on each spring....


I remember reading an article on the 68 Charger R/T with a 440, if it doesn't have a stiffer right spring, it can jump a lane to the right on take off from the torque....
 
Good Morning !! Hope we all have a positive happy start this fine day !
 
Good morning
Slept in till about 6. Think maybe I will actually get up now. Gotta taxi the wife for a appointment later, so have the day off work.
 
wow, you FABO smurfs are awesome!!!

I think I am going to order a set of U-bolts from that partsmix place.

they have so many other bolts and fasteners I need so I am going to try to make enough order to get free shipping. :)

totally drives me nuts to have the wrong bolts in the wrong places.

My 72 demon is going to the biggest bolt audit of all my cars ....the previous owner was an idiot and there were engine bolts holding the fenders on and wood screws, pop rivets and anything else you can think of that would be totally stupid.
 
the ol' innerweb is an awesome tool - are you up early or really late?

up really early .....had to go operate the water valve because we are irrigating the fields again .....so of course I get the job of turning the water on and off because I am out feeding cows anyways.

It's snowing like crazy to the north and you can see the pitch black clouds but here all dry and 37*

Through me off a bit ... When I woke up and looked at my phone it said 'snowing'. Somehow the weather app had switched to a town in Colorado.

We are ecpecting temps to drop the next couple days an a couple inches of snow for the first day of spring. :violent2:

Colorado springs, Co and north of there is getting hit with a foot of snow in some higher areas.

I am in a lower elevation so my area may get like an inch max.....the forecast is showing 78 and mega windy for Monday here :D
 
I like cow so much, that we buy a whole cow every year and quarter it out and share it with the family.. We have to find a new butcher though, we ended up with 145lbs of hamburger, and a bunch of roasts, only 4 steaks! DOH!!!
 
I can see that getting your attention.. yea, I saw the same crap for Sun into Mon - sucks
