Leaf springs on older Birds

[George Burke]

Ok, Roger/Ralph, Here is the only info that I have found on springs for a 1977 FC 31 with a Ford gas engine. "From BlueBird" , Springs used on BlueBird chassis are manufactured to our specifications by well known manufacturers of automotive type springs. Under Rear Spring Group (Forward Control) is Part No. 0350686 Spring 3 X 52 X 11 Leaf . Application All Qty 2 . A couple pins are listed as being made by Ford, and some nuts by Bowman Product Co. Roger, maybe someone with knowledge of a former BB mechanic from the factory that is working for another RV company could help you, or check with a good spring company, with the above specs. on the whole leaf spring assy. Good Luck, George Burke 1977 FC 31 Charlotte

Hi George:

Thank you for getting back and sorry it has taken a while to reply. We have a new Birder (Rodger)in the LA Cal area with a new to him '75 31 footer with some broken leaf springs and no numbers or where to go to get them. Please see msg # 48163


Curt/Phil here is a, new to him, Birder that needs info on the Left Coast Bird group.
