Front leaf spring ID 47" eye to eye 3.18" eye width
Picked up some temporary 'mockup' front springs from a local squarebody guy selling out parts. (using on a 1969 C30 conversion)
They're 47" eye to eye..military wrap as I've heard it described. They are tapered both in width and thickness but they measure approx 3.18" wide at the eye. Didn't measure that when I picked them up..oops. Look like high quality sorings when new. I understood Sq body front leafs to be 3" wide at the eye from last 2 I measured and whhat I've read. Curious if these were actually square body leaf springs?

That is what my 81 K30 measures.

Re: Front leaf spring ID 47" eye to eye 3.18" eye width
Ahh. Today when wire wheeling/cleaning them up I thought..maybe theyre K30 springs.
Now that I know I'd like to find a better set in the future. These will be fine for mockup. I may consider building my front leaf spring brackets to fit this size specifically. Thanks for the info Farmall! What's odd about these is that there seems to be a galvanization of top. Wire wheel didnt do much to it. Friend said that would crack/be brittle..so probably not.
