hwellens,

I was reading this post and the attachments and was wondering if you had the page which referred to the 1929/30 Chrysler 66 rear springs. I have just purchased one and it was in a garage with several other vintage Chrysler and dodge vehicles and I am trying to ascertain if I have the correct rear springs.

thanks

many thanks Hwellens this may help me to sort out what springs I have and what vehicle they suit. I have ascertained that I have a 1925 B model chassis but seem to have 1930 Chrysler 66 parts and body.

Thanks again, I have a set of springs that have 13 leafs with a 49 inch centres eye to eye and 8.5 inch arch, the measurements for short end are 24 9/16 SE and 28 9/16 LE.

The closest I can find is the 1926, 60 coach sedan. Unfortunately the serial numbers are not explanatory in the book, My serial # is 51522.

Could you explain to me what the Bushing abbreviations mean, HDB, GCB, JFC, with JFC being relevant to the springs I have, they currently have brass bushes, do you happen to have any specifications on what bushing should be size wise and material.

thanks

HDB = Bronze Bushing (7/8" x 5/8" x 1-3/4")

GCB = Bronze Bushing (13/16" x 9/16" x 1-3/4")

JFC = Bronze Bushing (1" x 3/4" x 2")

See attached to make sure you are measuring correctly.

Has anyone got any pictures of the rear spring setup on a 1925-26 Chrysler sedan / coach. Im interested to see if I have set mine up right. Any pictures would be greatly appreciated. I have some temporary timber shackle plates which are at 2 inch centres, the ones I got with the car were 3 1/2 inch centres which did not allow springs up in position. Any advise or guidance is appreciatedpost-100001-143142544156_thumb.jpg

Hwellens do you happen to have the data for a 1925 Chrysler, you have previously sent the info for the 26 but I am hoping you may have for the 1925 models.

many thanks

Sorry, but, my book only goes from 1926 - 1936, but, covers all cars
