Probably get flamed or start a war but here goes............
Why did Chevy use Coil springs in the 58-63/64 cars?
Why not leaf springs?
I have see some 63's with leafs under them and they seem to do very well so why was this not more popular? Or was it?
JMHO - But a properly setup leaf system with ladder bars would seem to be a good fit for a car of these years. I know the enemy of both coil and leaf is rear end deflection but that can be over come in either case fairly well.
Just some arm chair engineering
