    Where in Poland are you from?


    I've got a 1947 Chevy. Old School lowrider.....The front coil springs have been cut and heated. The car is too low to drive in Poland! I found a guy with a bunch of coil springs but he's clueless what the springs fit (he's not in Poland he's in So Cal)

    If I know the free height and wire Dia of the stock spring I can get a couple new springs and be back on the road :)

    BLuto.

    i tossed the stock front suspension from my 47 coupe.. but I'll call my dad in the am and see if he still has the springs from his 40 chevy.. they should be about the same..

    otherwise.. kustombuilder here on the hamb has a coupe with the stock front suspension I believe..

    at last resort..
    maybe some vendor like chevys of the 40's would know?

    or dick moffitts chevy parts in ohio..



    I am headin to bed..

    its dark over here.
    best wishes
