Here's a quick picture

i have 1 62-109s leaf spring. the spring has no cracks and is not broken. its serves me no good because i've upgraded to 62-139s.
I've been waiting to do a dump run and have this spring sitting in my shop. a buddy of my keeps telling me to post this and not scrap it because it just might help someone out.
let me know if anyone might be interested or if i should just scrap it.

that's pat's old ride very nice solid straight truck
agree Jim, I thought it was/is Pat's old truck???
i don't know pat, i bought this truck from a guy in PA. the truck was from CT to start with i know that much. i do have some of the history of the truck.
but as of work I've done my self was. full duel wet kit, pintle hitch, new rear springs, new trennion 44k not like the stock 38k, i double frame added an extra crossmembers, torque rods, all new ujoints, added air dyer new shocks all around all new motor mounts, insulators, bolts, recaps in the rear, new fronts 60k miles on all tires, new alternator, 4 new batteries, new turbo, all new belts, new steering wheel, all new air cans shoes and a lot of new lines, there are a ton of things I've missing. about to click 400k will get hours tomorrow.
but here is the thing. I'm in love with this truck. I've taken every bolt off and put a new one on (well a good 85%) and I'm stuck in a rock and a hard place. now this truck its back up and running stronger then ever. its my baby I'm thinking of getting another truck to put to work with me but i don't trust anyone driving it. so do i sell it and move on or keep it because I'm so far into it??
the next truck I'm looking at is a superliner with a cumins 400 mack 12sp. she need a little TLC but not to bad. the other truck is a 03westernstar 500cumins 13spd. both really nice trucks but but i don't know what to do.
