Spring Rebuilding Shops
I would like to have my springs refurbished-removed,disassembled,media blasted,repainted,re-arched,relined, reassembled and reinstalled by a good shop.Unfortunately,the spring shops in my neck of the woods are going by the way-side.Does anyone have a recommendation on a shop that could do this,and do it well?I prefer to pay for the privilege as opposed to doing any of it myself.Basically,I want to drop it off,and pick it back up when done.Thanks,Steve.

All I have is:
"There is a pair of brothers - the Eberwein Boys - in the tower district of Fresno. One runs a spring shop and the other a brake shop, and then together (I think) they run a general repair shop. (1559 Broadway and 1821 Calaveras, a few doors apart.)"
The place may have changed hands by now - they were as old as the hills. . . . .

Mustangs Plus in Stockton does spring work like this, and I don't believe he limits it to just Mustangs.

ibuzzard, the shop I mentioned in Fresno has the stock to make you any spring you want. They can provide a stock set-up, or customize it as you wish.
Springs were an off-the-shelf item the truck companies bought when they manufactured these old trucks. Many used the same springs with different eyes and rates.
They take raw stock and press and bend it into any needed shape - when I had it done for my '59 they gave me what I wanted and saved me about 1/2 what the restoration places wanted.

I needed a smog check on my jeep - so I decided to use Eberwein's instead of the other places I have used in the past.
They recomended Betts Spring in San Leandro (sp).
If you use them and they are as good as he thought they would be, please add them to the recomended shops list!

When I was racing a buddy of mine had Mustangs Plus redo his rear leaf springs for his race car. Ron re-arched them and stiffened them to give him both the specified ride height he wanted as well as spring rate, and I think the price was in the low hundreds, not thousands.
