Ozz Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Anyone got a 620 2wd that is being parted out? I really need a good pair of rear leaf springs and hangars plus bolts. I'm taking the ladder bar rear suspension of my V-8 truck and the easiest way to go is stock stuff for now. I had a complete 3 link setup years ago but the components ended up on another project. Maybe someone knows of a supplier of new springs?? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Only just that you never know who's perusing through the classifieds and sees something they have laying around. Quote Link to comment
Ozz Posted June 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I had already looked through the classified "for sale" and intended to expand my search with a post there today but it looks like I might have a chassis now. Quote Link to comment
Ozz Posted June 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Got the chassis I needed, an ex-mini motorhome 1978 620. All the components are like new once cleaned up, obviously a low mile vehicle. I'll snap a few photos later today but I have everything I need to put leaf springs back under my V-8 620. I really tried to make drag race ladder bar suspension work...and it does work, just not very well and is rough and noisy. the bare frame will be off to salvage in a week or so, I'll keep the rear diff and some other pieces "in stock".

Ozz Posted July 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 The springs are installed, the truck drives great. Note to self......."don't think you can make drag race ladder bar suspension work decent on the street". Lesson learned. Quote Link to comment

What I meant was start a wanted ad. Members and non members sometimes read through them. There may be someone who has a set but never thought to sell them. Seeing someone who wants them encourages them to get rid of them. Motor home or Camper special have stiffer spring rate. Quote Link to comment
knoriega Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 I have a pair of 620 leaf springs you can have. I am locally to you also. I live in Van Nuys. Quote Link to comment
