Can I flip leaf springs?
I have a 56 Dodge pickup and nobody makes parts for em. I cant think of a way to drop the frontend since I cant just go swapping parts or getting bolt in kits, plus I dont have a lot of money. I was thinking, can I just flip the leaf springs, so they arch up instead of down. The way my I-beam straight axle is designed, it has a cast in mounting flange for the leafs to ride on top of the axle. But nothing under the axle so I cant just mount them under to drop the suspension like that. How would the leaf spring operate flipped over like that?
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
