1941 Ford Rear Parallel Springs

[Bigboatguy]

Can any one tell me what is the best kind of salvage vehicle to get the rear parallel springs from? I have priced the new kits that are available and they along with shipping are too much for me. Any help will be appriciated. Thanks, almauldin@msn.com

Depending on where you live, there might be a spring repair shop where you can have a set made up to your specs. and installed

Thanks for the info. Thats the way I'm Going. Do you know the correct wheelbase length for a 1941 ford coupe? ==AL==

I think that rather than focusing on original wheelbase length, I'd use this opportunity to make sure the "new" axle placement centers the wheels/tires in the fender openings, while also making sure the new axle placement is square to a "square" chassis, AND to the front axle. DD
