          I have for sale a "new" (has about 200 miles on it) 9 leaf rear spring from Muskeegon Brake. I was unable to use it due to the over-size tires I am running  on the rear. It does require the use of 8" bolts for proper ride height. It was installed on my '72. I know shipping runs about $40.00. ....Take $90.00..............

Reid;

Any idea if that will fit on an '80?

I can ask my vette mech here if need be.  He just told me mine is flattened out and I also need 4 U-joints in the back.

Dennis, if your car has the steel spring and iron diff., the one Reid has should fit. If it has the 'glass spring, and the aluminuminum diff., it won't.

Dennis, your 80 takes a 2 1/2 inch spring compared to the 63-79 witch take a 2 1/4 inch width.
Any idea if that will fit on an '80?

I'll take a look at mine tonight - I might be able to use it. I'm at the bottom of the bottom of the bolts now, and the car sits a little low in the back for my tastes. I was planning on changing out the nylon spacers anyway.
