Jon:
Just recently did the front springs on my '56 1/2 ton Chevy stepside. I
bought a product called "poly-liner" from vendor Chevy Duty. It is a flat
plastic type material that comes in a roll (you cut the length you need) and
claims to have enough material to do both front and back springs. It was a
snap for me to use. I haven't had my truck back on the road yet but I'm sure
the liner will be better than what I had originally. I think the price for
a roll was around $65, and since I did my front springs only I have plenty
left. If you're not planning on doing both front and back sets I'll bet
I've got enough. Email me off-list if you're interested in buying what I
have left.
