  • We're going to freshen up the leaf springs & shackles on the abandoned tri 5 Chevy build. The springs & shackles need to come out, get inspected, cleaned, painted, new bushings installed & then finally put back on the car. The 1956 Chevy is going to look great with freshly painted suspension.
    Here's some awesome Chevy t-shirts!

    Looks like you have a seamless frame ... very desirable ...

    Back in the early 80s I lifted my rear of my 57 properly. I had my leaf springs arced 2' over stock. I do not remember how much it cost, but I am sure it was not much, because I was a college student without much money. They also sold left spring hangers for cheap that would lift the rear. I found some of those at a junk yard to use before I got my leaf springs re-arced.
    I had to get my leaf springs re-arced, because they had started sagging from age.

      That’s interesting. Thanks for sharing that. I might need to do something with my springs. We shall see.

    Leaf spring may have been worn out letting it run on the shackle, making noise.

      That's a good point. I didn't think of that. I guess we will see what happens when we drive the car. I've got an engine on the floor next to the car now. Still a lot of work to do.

      Looked like the shackle was on backwards, the curve was turned to the rear, and the pipe was used to keep it from bumping on the mount @@freemansgarage

    I hate any job that requires a hydraulic press. I didn't have mine pop apart like that, but with a 10 ton unit I was bending those I beams that support the part. for something like this you could get a sawzall blade in there and slice the sleeve.

    dont cheap out on the rear leaf springs you will learn why real quick if you snap one between the rear and where its connected in the front the car will veer to the side that snaps uncontrollably

      Thanks for figuring out a way to send the lights. Hadn't retrieved my mail in weeks until yesterday. They look like something I should've bought years ago. I'll be using them right away. Thank you again for doing that. That was something very nice you didn't have to do. Thank you.
