That's just one pair of 5 leaf leaf springs. When I called Trucksprings I was told the leaf springs weren't available from their supplier.

$280 for 5 leaf with a 5 week wait. Laura is an amazing person.

If you need or want/need leaf springs Espo Springs & Things is the place to go. Laura is awesome and their prices are amazing. If you want to do iso-delete and use B-Body shock plates. Order the Mopar Performance ones from Mancini Racing for $129. Way cheaper then FFI.

Brought the car home tonight, and it's everything I hoped it would be!! Runs strong and PULLS all day. I definitely need to get 15's because these 245-70-14 aren't going to cut it lol. It was to late to snap pics I'll post soon

Funny you say that. What rusted on mine was the drivers side fresh air vent opening. My fix, make a steel cap that went over cowl attached with self tapping phillips screws and clear silicone. Won't leak now! Color matched it to car and if wiper motor ever fails, I can remove cap and replace...

Motor is finally in and demons tackled. Did cam break in last night and tonight I'll fine tune jets, timing springs/timing on distributor. Can't wait to get her tires on pavement and see how she feels. Will post pics later.

Ty for answering 1st of all. Now, yes these are the banana groove shafts. Drivers side. Oiling holes pointed down notch down to front of motor. If I bolt shaft down bare it oil's shaft. If I have rockers on it, the 1.5 adjustable ductile steel mopar rockers it will not. Instead oil comes out...

Has anyone had a problem getting rocker shafts to oil ductile adjustable cast iron rocker arms on an aluminum head and what's the solution? If I bolt the shaft to the head it seals. With the ductile adjustable rockers on the shaft the oil pushes out of the bolt not thru shaft. It's like the...

I went to the website bit there aren't prices listed or a link to order parts?

Firewalls painted. Heater box & dash panel back in Next Saturday motor & trans go back in and hopefully she comes back home Sunday night.

Chromoly & angle iron subframe connectors fabricated, welded in and undercoated. That'll stiffen it up

Yeah my coworker is REALLY good at fabrication and welding. I certainly can't weld that good. Next is the frame connectors. Primed the engine tonight and tomorrow I'll paint it. Burned the old rubber out of the spool motor mounts last night .I'm replacing them with Prothane. I'm hoping that by...
