Somethingski

Thanks so much for the input. Should be enough info now i had forgotten about the body builder layout (i had looked at it but didn't "click"). I think id be correct in assuming the b series will be damn close to the c series (even with the aussie built stuff). David im assuming "eaton spring" is www.eatondetroitspring.com never knew that existed! Useful information there too! Thanks, Andrew

Ahh ok awesome. So about 4.5". Are you aware of any documantation where i could find the actual measurement? Ive gone through everything i have but no luck. Thanks for your help so far, its appreciated

Hi and thanks so much. From reading through the post you linked to ) the measurement of "c" is between 5-3/4" and 6" have i read that correctly? Thanks again

Hi All, I am looking to get the springs reset on my 1957 Dodge 108c truck (Its an Australian truck) but rates would be similar to the US ones . It looks to have sagged about two inches front and rear. Does anyone have the original spring rates/measurements for resetting? I require at least the distance from the center of the spring arc to the height between the eyes ( C ) in the attached. Any help or pointers appreciated. Thanks

Ok good to know. I don't have a photo of the front and yes the base has been snapped off. How, i am not to sure i wasn't with the truck when it happened! I don't have access to the base or the hand right now (long story) and they are currently in two different states! Thanks so much for the offer though, appreciated

Oh wow thats so generous. Thank you Would that repair it well enough for it to be exposed to the elements (wind, rain sun etc). I have zero experience in that sort of stuff so really have no idea. Yes all the parts. Picture should be above. Failing that im guessing they are hard to come by?

Thats the issue, the aussie side of things. Worst case ill need to get it shipped over here, if the vendor is willing. Where there is will there is a way! Thanks for replying to my thread, its appreciated. Andrew

Thanks buddy! I guess i was hoping for something more local (Australia) for parts. Ill check to make sure they can deliver internationally. Thanks again

Hi guys, starting to look for parts. Do you have any particular websites or places to go search for bits and pieces? Currently after right rear quater glass (mine looks like its been shot at!) And a right hand door including glass. Im going to try and preserve the original door as is as my pop did the original sign writing on it and id like to preserve and display. Also a "hand" mine cracked under pressure so to speak (see attached photo) Any leads welcome and thanks for your help so far!

Looks like the "harden & john...." bit was the nsw distributor.

Tony, you are a wealth of knowledge! The 108 CD Q22 maybe 108 CD 022. I've attached below, not on a thin tag though. Says "harden & john......." they are the best photos i have. So it appears the front is 58-59 but the tags say 55. If only i could ask my grandfather! Thanks so much for the info and help

Hi all, How life has changed since i last posted here! Have a few updates, been able to get into the engine bay and found the followoing serial number 108C-D 184 (attached) any ideas? Also been able to find 108 -CD -Q22 and SPAR - 157 - 9327 Any ideas on those? Thanks for all your help so far!

Awesome info peoples, thanks. Whistler eh, my old home for close to 4 years. Enjoy!

Awesome. Thanks for the info gents, ill get on facebook and check it out. Looked at the car carrier you have suggested, i think the probelm is the rolling part! Ill keep looking, some one im sure will be able to help. One thing i also didnt consider and will need to look into is the permit situation for moving the truck up here. Good stuff gents, lots of hings to check out in the coming months! Cheers

Wont be bringing it up till mid July. Was down there over Xmas to see the state it was in and get some photos. Im thinking i may need some professional help to restore, my lists of concerns are growing! As Tony mentioned may also need to consider getting it professionally removed. Im happy to drive it back (my car at that stage will be in Sydney anyway) just the loading may cause issue (and i have very limited time down there to organise). Im sure ill have more questions over the next months, and as always any tips and tricks most welcome!
