i have been looking for a new f-150 4x4 project truck. i have found a truck for sale locally that is an f-150 4x4 ext. cab long bed 400 v8 4 spd.truck is in pretty good shape should be easy resto. however the front suspension has me confused. every 150 4x4 i have ever seen had coil spring front suspension but this truck has leaf springs up front. owner claims it's all original. did ford use leaf springs on this model for some reason? i'am thinking maybe body was swapped to a f-250 chassis. can anyone help clear up my confusion?

 

there was a thread about this same topic a few weeks back it has some good info. But to answer the question all F-150 SuperCab trucks that were 4x4 had leaf spring front suspension.

 

What he said.
IF it is anything other than a regular cab it will have front leafs.

 

thanks ford 390 gashog and mbbford for your responses to my f150 spring question. i spent some time searching old threads and found lots more great info.
