Vette(s): Numbers matching 1972 350 4 speed, silver pewter body with blue interior
I'm working with Viking Performance to create a new US made coil over shock offering for the C3. Hey this is what happens when I buy a new toy and cannot find the parts I want to use. So, they told me that their existing GM coil over conversion springs would not fit the C3 spring pocket. Other than me yanking one out and sending it to them, can anyone elaborate what may be different about these springs/pockets vs. lets say an A body Chevelle, X body Nova or F body Camaro spring? I have all of those. We will probably just end up ordering a set of OE replacement springs to examine. Its 18 out and I don't feel like popping ball joints when I can't feel my hands.
Thanks,
Dave

You may not find anyone that can help with what you are asking but This will push it back up to the top for another day.
