Re: [oletrucks] GMC over-load springs? (short)

[BCR69S@aol.com]

I have a set of those on my 46 . I have been told that they were aftermarket. 
An interesting side story a local service station owner told me is that in 
the 50's guys used to take boxcar springs from our local RRoad shops ,put 
them inside sleeves of well casing that was welded to the axle and frame (two 
pieces) and make overload springs . Those old boys could really haul coal 
with that setup. 
oletrucks is devoted to Chevy and GM trucks built between 1941 and 1959
