I have 93 3/4 ton pickup. I think maybe it is called a D250. The rear leaf spring brackets are all rotted out.
My local mechanic has quote me 600 bucks to replace brackets and springs. He has the parts on hand. He was in the middle of restoring his own truck and then a kid came along and one thing leads to another and he abandons his truck restoration project and is left with the parts.
So anyway he shows me the new brackets and shackles and springs andf stainless steel bolts and so forth on his truck. It all looks very nice.
So here are the questions. Is 600 bucks a good deal? The frame rails look ok, but is it possible he will get into it and find that the frame rails arr going to need to be strengthened? Is this a common thing or is brackets usually all that is needed? He says the OEM brackets are hard to find. Is this true?
