I agree; a leaf spring can be a thing of beauty (to us car nuts)... Maybe if you remove every-other leaf it will maintain its nice tapered look. "Back in the day"... they used to clean and lightly grease the leaves, assemble them, and then wrap the entire spring with two or three layers of electrical tape. The purpose was to keep dirt and moisture out from between the leaves (especially on the dirt tracks) so they would work more smoothly.

Did you make it to the Frog Follies? I was there (as a spectator) and looked for your truck, but there were too many cars to see them all... The last time I was there was in 1980! It sure has grown.
