I have a 75 ford 1 ton dump truck (I affectionately refer to it as the humpty dumpster.)
It is two wheel drive and the front has begun to sag. Not really bad, but since I load the hell out of it hundreds of times a summer, I should most likley take care of it.

I was just wondering the best place to purchase new front coils?

Thanks for the help.

 

I bought new ones for my 78 F250 last summer. The were $80.00 for the pair and I got them from NAPA.

Did it raise the front up. When I bought the truck it was sagging a litlle, gotten worse over the last year. But I never saw the truck when the springs were good, so i dont know how high the front should be, I am hoping It will bring it up a couple inches, it should, I think they are the original springs.
Thanks alot

 

Actually, the drivers side springs was broken at the top on my '78. They were the factory orignals and I replaced with the same weight rated springs. But I measured it anyway. I gained an inch from the new springs. If you really want to beef up your truck, tell the auto parts you want the springs for the 10,000 gvw truck. I think they were on F350 super camper specials.

Cool, maybe thats what I will do. Thanks again.
By the way your truck is sweet, inspired me to get a project truck.

 

Hey, I went down to two different parts stores. All they had listed for springs were 77-79. Gvw 9250lbs, or something close to that. Will those springs work on my 75? I think they will, arnt 73-79 all the same?
Any info would be great.
Thanks

 

Call a spring shop in a larger city, they can fix you right up.

 

There is a spring shop across town from me, I am going to check there soon.
Thanks
