1941 Rear Parallel Leaf Springs

[Bigboatguy]

Can anybody tell me what is the best salvage type off what vehicle to use on a 1941 Ford coupe? The parallel spring kits are too expensive for me.

The enclosed pictures are of the FRONT spring hardware and SPRINGS from a '49-54 CHEVY pick-up. They're seen here adapted to (bolted to) a '40 FORD frame...ingenious! DD

Hi all; I also used front springs from a light truck; years ago it was an international mail van. Newc

V*Coupeman,

I used the same springs (49-54 Chevy PU) minus a few leafs on the rear of my 34 Ford coupe back in 1964. Still going strong, good ride.
