Just noticed your location.

Is this a real town, I do not know a lot, tend to travel I. The Midwest when I come over.


Thank you for this.

Hope to fit replacement springs and all front end service items over the weekend.

yep the town name of horseheads new york dates back to the civil war days .

its also in the heavy north east rust belt of the usa .

the area is located in the upstate new york region and my zip code is 14845 .

i am 20 min from watkins glen race track home of the famous road race course for nascar and indy and scca racing . i am 10 min from the soaring capital of the world in big flats new york . this area has a rich history for sure . . . but sadly economically depressed for years .

oh ya and i am 1.5hr south of rochester new york . . . .ha ha ha

Just throwing this out there so you know. A worn out used spring is usually taller than a new spring when comparing them. Not talking about cut or torched springs tho.

My new springs for 1981 C-10 were a little under 14 inches when sitting on the ground.

Way off topic but my mom ran a bar and motel in Horseheads in the mid to late 70s. I was born in Olean and lived in Cuba for the first 8 years of life.
