Does anyone know the specifications of Filling Station part #FS819 and #FS816.
Several here on Chatter have suggested my Chev is a HB and others that it is a 1/2 ton commercial but which ever it is it requires front springs.

My GM restoration package lists the front springs for the Master as having 9 leaves with a combined rate of 235 lbs/in. The Master sedan delivery is listed as having 8 leaves with a rate of 310 lbs/in. The 1/2 Ton is listed as having 8 leaves and a rate of 475 lbs/in.
My 1951 1 Ton is now on the road! My 38 Master 4 Door is also now on the road .

Old 216
I feel you misunderstood my posting. I was looking for the dimensions more than the rating. Mine need replacement and the Filling Station lists 2 possibilities and I dont want to order the wrong option.
I have emailed Filling Station but as yet no reply.

I think the question is, do you have a master or a 1/2 ton with the 1/2 tone chassis? If the former, then you need FS819, if the latter then FS816. Look at the chassis and see which one you have. ![[Linked Image from ted-llc.com]](http://www.ted-llc.com/video/38chevy26.jpg) Brian

From the information that I provided, it looks like the springs offered for the Master do not have the correct number of leaves.

While your posting doesnt give the specs I was looking for it answers my question (and others I hadnt asked) better. The lower chassis cross section is the same as mine therefore it is the 816 springs I need.
Thank you.

Tony, I didn't even think to look to see if I had the technical specs on the springs. Here you go: ![[Linked Image from ted-llc.com]](http://www.ted-llc.com/video/chevy30.jpg) ![[Linked Image from ted-llc.com]](http://www.ted-llc.com/video/chevy31.jpg) Brian

I have 3 different springs
Type 1 (RHS when I purchased the truck) both spring eyes are curled up with 8 leaves and centre bolt 1" off centre. I have been told this type finished with the 36 model.
Type 2 (LHS at purchase) front eye curled up and rear eye centre in line with leaf line and 8 leaves centre bolt 1" off centre. Apparently the correct spring and the same spring carried through for the 42 model.
Type 3 I acquired thinking they would be replacements but 1 eye curled up and 1 eye fully curled down and centre bolt centred.
By your second post is for the master passenger car as it has a leaf above the 1 with eyes.
I also note that the correct spring is made flat where I was thinking mine had sagged.
