Hi Tom

I just finished replacing the spring and shocks in my 76 with a new set
purchased at Spitbits.com located in Sacramento, Ca.

The spring was 135.00 and did not come with the mounting bracket, but it wasn't
much of a problem to change it over. only took a few hours and I was back in
business.

Be Well

Jim
