I have a 1979 I'm rebuilding the rear end in. I have the leaf spring out and want to replace the liners. The car has a 2.5", nine-leaf spring, and none of the vendors I use seem to carry this kit. They only have liner kits up to 1977. I posted this question once and someone recommended Bair's. I spoke with them today and their 1979 liner kit is for the optional 2.25" spring. It looks as though there was a change in spring width from 2.25" to 2.5" starting in 1978, so I cannot use a kit from an earlier year.
So can anyone tell me where I can get this liner kit? I cannot believe it's not out there somewhere. If someone has the part number, I could try the GM vintage parts web site, but they don't always have the parts either. Of course, these vendors are more than happy to sell me the entire spring...so obviously someone is making the liners for them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
