Hi! Collin



WOW! Every thing is coming together and looking great. Is your rear leaf spring an original or aftermarket? I am in need of one for my 63 project?

They are 63 but I got them from Eaton, in Detroit. They are exactly like the originals. Then I got the kit to make paint them and put the plastic spacers on them. Had to take them apart to paint, and then reassemble. It took about a day to do right, but it came out exact to the OEM. Still just taking my time....

Thanks Collin,



I called Eaton about a month ago and they stated that they no longer offered the 63 spring. Is there a particular person that you were dealing with?

Ray,

Just called the main number and they gave me to sales, who then took my order. Sorry don't have any more information. They gave me no indication they would going to discontinue the 63 springs.
