Default Eaton Detroit Spring

Purchased a complete front spring from Eaton Detroit Spring for my 37 Panel. I installed it this past Saturday, it fit perfect. Hats off to them . Ray

It should be perfect, they have a long track record.

Hey Ray how about some updated photo's of that panel, to ring in the new year of course.

I just picked up front and rear springs for my T this past week end, got some work to get done before spring. Scott

They are one of the "Great Guys" to do business with. If you are ever in downtown Detroit, a trip to their facility is certainly worth your effort.

Yes, please elaborate. I had them make the rear spring for my current "Tub" project from a set of dimensions and a crude drawing I sent them. It fit perfectly. Outrageous claims with absolutely no backup seem to be the rage these days.

Your choice, but if they can't make it no one can either.

I used them some years back on a late 70's Bronco, great phone service and shipping. Fit like OEM.
