flexomatic springs

does anyone know if I can change out the flexomatic springs on my 68 f100 swb for non flexomatic springs and if so do I need to move the spring hangers?

Hangers are the same and in the same location.... the difference is the eye-to-eye spring length and the style of the rear shackle assembly.

Make sure you get all the hardware and shackles from the non-FOM donor.

Sorry I don't. I've got two 2WD bumps and one 4WD Dent.

An easy way to find if they cross over is to look at NPD's catalog and compare PNs.
