flat48f2, I have two sets of good front leaf springs. Looks like I'll be in St. Helena this Friday and maybe on Sunday. Get a hold of me ASAP at modelking2000 at hotmail.com.

You must be thinking F1 drums. The F2 drums are 8 lug and are very difficult to find.

If you are rebuilding your springs you may want to consider going with less than the stock spring pack(leave out every other leaf) , otherwise when you get done you will find it rides a teensy bit rough . my 2 cents

This truck came without an engine, it now has a running 51 merc and a T5 transmission. I rewired the electrical system and upgraded to 12V. Never could find rear brake drums so I'm currently working on installing a Dana 60 rear end.
My biggest problem now is a broken front spring. I live in Petaluma, CA, if anyone nearby or not so nearby has a used one, 8 leaf for an F2, please let me know.
Thanks, Lon

Too bad you don't live closer. I have an F2 front spring out on my scrap pile.
