front suspension question

[ratrod40428]

hey, does anyone know of a way to take a stock 1946 chevy parallel leaf front suspension and (useing one stock spring) make it into a mono leaf?

[burger]

it doesn't work that way.

monoleaf springs are thicker in the center and taper toward the ends, giving the spring a progressive rate like a spring pack would.

butch's rod shop sells aftermarket monoleafs if you're looking.

You can also get the ones you have dearched. I did it on a 37 Chevy p/u. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
