rb1949

Being the one taking it out doesn't help with which colors go where?

Great meal. I tried it once and that was enough.

Not fond of that Blue either. Did you miss posting on the truck forum?

Need a little Ragu on that spaghetti.

Hey Desoto, exciting post on your project above. Keep it updated.

Take a picture of this ornery contraption. Is it out yet?

Is this a different model? From a recent HAMB post. Australia car show.

Any year or name on this extended cab?

Holy Cow. Ordered springs yesterday morning. In short order got a notification they had shipped. Arrived here today. That Rock is fast. Thanks. But it didn't include any warm weather to install them.

1949-1950 Plymouth: Up front, the cars used coil springs with different rates on the right and left sides because, Plymouth's engineers reasoned, highways in the eastern United States, as well as Canada, were more steeply crowned than those in the West. (Hemmings)

The Peep Mirrors can be added with no drilling. OK for driver side. Helped when I put convex on the passenger side.

Did you determine the origin yet, to order correct parts when needed?

Thanks Dart, for the follow up. Apparently you didn't, but debating having an internal spring compressor handy. Anyone know if Autozone has the correct one for a 'loaner"? No work out there in the cold season, but might as well shop for the Aerostar CC850 springs and get them ordered. My first look saw that the price does fluctuate just a bit, with free shipping. Another item in the to-do pile. Keep the comments coming. edit: do shop, quite a difference in prices. Checked again this morning, and found Rock Auto with the best deal. Lowest price, with fast shipping, can get them here for $53. edit 2: people are calling these progressive springs. The product description says different. CC850 - Variable Pitch Spring; Sold In Pairs Moog offers two types of coil springs: constant-rate springs that restore handling to its original state, and cargo-coil, variable-rate springs as an upgrade for vehicles that carry heavy loads. Moog's constant-rate springs are built to replace original equipment springs, returning ride height and body sway to original performance levels. Replacing worn coil springs with Moog constant-rate springs restores vehicle handling. The cargo-coil, variable-rate springs change resistance as they compress and become progressively stiffer as the load increases.

Cool find and color. Enjoy driving. Winter hampers activity here too. Pester and post more. USA or Canadian?

And what front springs are under Casper's ride?

That non-car stuff is always in the way.

Happy to buck the trend at cruise ins. Hugging the ground is not my style. Looks abnormal. And don't need a car that jumps up and down.

Quick & easy, save some effort.

If you could see the way I cut wood it wouldn't matter what tool I had. Nice work going on. Does it work on a Mopar?

Lots of y'all have created web sites to document your project, a build, a travel adventure, and many photos. A great way to archive your work and share it with others. There are some good choices to choose a free hosting site and relatively easy to create. How about people that have items to sell. The classified here are a perfect way to hit a direct audience of potential buyers. But limited to members only. Create a web site, and make a For Sale page to list your stuff. Some guys have a lot of stuff. If someone is browsing the web, the parts should show up in a search. Might help find a potential buyer. Be sure to include contact information. Part names, part numbers, year, pictures, etc. Just an idea. I did it at work with some obsolete equipment and found some buyers.

Great looking accessories. Cheaper than chrome.

Have you gotten quotes for possible shipping? Leaving West coast. Lots of fair priced USA cars to choose from. Thought I just saw someone mention they were awaiting delivery, $2,000 to Europe, all taxes/dues included.

Happy New Year from Indiana.
