Default Replaced 65 Rear Spring:

This weekend I replaced the rear spring on my 65 with a TRW unit. I was curious how much the old spring is worth, it has 10 leafs and the following stamp: 21-1023 362153

Thanks!

How much is scrap steel going for? That's all it's worth.

Thanks!
That's an old Service replacement 10-leaf spring; the original spring had 9 leaves.

Good to hear the sound of your keyboard.....must have been a strange winter in WA. snow...other stuff....

I was out for a drive today , testing steering box, alignment, all suspension components done at last

Now just a set of new tires for this years adventures......wore out the set I bought for the last trip....

To get back to this OP.....I had my car done at Palmer Spring Company and I have some great photos of an old fashion spring making shop....still owned by the same family 150 years later.

I will post it in a day or so....could be interesting to those seeking special springs for early GM and other cars....

Jack

PS worth by the pound of scrape
