    what springs are these?

    I have attached some pictures of the springs I removed from a 69 IIA. They do not look like standard springs. Truck came out of south western, Maine. Any ideas Curiosity mostly.

    Spring at top of picture is an 11 leaf standard rear

      Back many years ago Ron Mowry (of West Lebanon Maine)had a spring shop make up a bunch of sets of springs for Rovers. 4 leaf front & 5 leaf rear. They were very stiff. Those could be a set. I actually had a set on a 69 IIA when I was living in York Maine. Sold it to a professor from Yale. Did the vehicle have a galv. chassis? If so, it could have been mine at some point.

        the vehicle is a red 88" IIA that I bought from a guy who said he did the conversion to a galv chassie. So probably not one of yours.

        BTW I plan on scrapping these so if anyone wants them you could have them for shipping

          The rear 3 in the first pic look like factory. I think factory was 11 leaves in the front, 9 in the rear.

            that's actually 2 springs, one completly broken in 1/2 and your correct they are stock type. It's the other 4 I'm referencing
