Monoleaf Rear Spring

My '64 still has the original factory springs with overloads on the rear... front suspension is '76 Volare... thought about a 4 bar link suspension, but don't really want the hassle of the fitment and welding, etc... found a cpl of places to get a monoleaf rear springs to replace the stock ones.. easy remove and replace job... anyone try this setup or know of anyone that has?

Thanks,

Bill in 'bama

Monoleaf Rear Spring

What is a monoleaf? A single extra thick leaf in place of multiple leafs? If I recall correctly, I once peeked under the rear of a C**vy Astro van and I think it had a single leaf on each side.

With a 351 if you go to mono leafs when you spin those tires the back axle is gunna jump around like a gorilla on amphetamines . Thats my 2 cents
