Description
The I-Beam
axles used on all 50-80 series trucks are of the conventional reverse
Elliott type, with solid king-pins and delrin or bronze bushed steering
knuckles. The springs are Chevrolet Vari-Rate, bushed at the front eye
only and mounted to a rigid hanger. The rear end of the spring rides in
a special hanger designed to provide a relatively low spring rate at
curb loads with increased rate at higher loads. Wheel bearings are
tapered roller type all all models. |
