W300 springs

Post by twayne24365 »

As some of you know I’m gathering parts to 4x4 swap my 69 d100, I’m using a d44/d60 from a 1980 w250.
Well I found a set of new struck replacement leaf springs for a 1965 w300. Will these work for my swap? Thanks!

Can you get the springs from the axle donor truck? The W300 springs are incredibly stiff and uncomfortable. If the truck will be a driver the newer springs will be much nicer.

Not likely.

I’m sure I can find another donor truck “w150/250” to get front leafs out of, but was just wondering since there is a set near by and new for sale, but I’ll just snag a set from another donor truck, thanks guys!
