Morning all.

Del, I laughed for a good five minutes at that first picture.   ::)

I'm off to the city today for the Nor Cal Sprotsman's Expo 2017.  I'm not 100% sure what it is, but admission is free and I was planning on being in the city anyway.  Who knows, maybe I'll find something cool.

I was wondering if y'all could help me. I have a trailer that was made out of a Ford short flareside. I took the bed off it, because it is rotting out, to replace it with a wooden bed. After I took it off, I noticed the leaf springs are broken on one side. I am trying to find replacement springs but I need to know what year range to ask for. By looking at pictures, it seems it is an early 70's or before. Please look at the picture and tell me what year range you think it is.

Thanks,

Slim

Good one! Unfortunately, outside a forum like this one, 90% or more won't get it.

Slim, Del's right, they used basically the same bed for years and years. Measure the length and width, and go by that.

I'm assuming you are referring to the length and width of the leaf spring which is 2.5" x 55". Yes?

They probably also have different numbers of leaves. Best way might be to get both, if you can't find an exact match.

If it used coil springs, I could recommend the striker springs from Lebel/Berthier rifles.
