Hi all,
I am the proud owner of a 1980 Ford F250 Custom. I bought it for very very cheap and it needs some suspension love. But as most of my classic car knowledge lies in old muscle cars I am looking for some knowledge. I crawled under the car to have a look at the leaf-springs and they don't look like anything I have seen before. One leaf above a spacer not touching anything and then two pieces below the pile of springs. Just need to know if this looks like a stock suspension for a Full Size Truck of the early 80's era? Any thoughts and/or advice is much appreciated and thanks in advance.
P.S. I know it needs some suspension work before heading back out to the trails...just trying to determine how to go about it best on a budget.
