    Leaf springs?? Is that a wagon thing? I thought all '58+ full size Chevy's had coils all around?


    **EDIT**
    Indeed it was a wagon only thing. Learn something new everyday.

    "Second generation (1971–1976)
    ...Unlike the years previous, station wagons used unique rear suspension, using a solid axle with leaf springs as opposed to the sedans and coupes coil springs and trailing arms."

    The leafs are one reason they make good demo cars. As the frame crushesit arches more and keeps the wheels clear. they ride over stuff like that but its a derby. I knew some derby guys who would put leafs under coil cars as a cheat.
