Has anyone ever heard of a 2wd having front leaf springs from the factory?

The f350,450 superdutys had leaf springs and a straight axle

Even still today, I just finished a brake job on an 08 f 450 4x2 with a straight axle
It has the coils like it's 4x4 brothers though

I'm just assuming you mean in the 73-79 year range. Is that correct?

If so, I've not seen a 2WD with front leaf springs, up to a F-350. All had twin I beam. Anything bigger than a F-350 was straight axle leaf spring.

1/2 ton 4x4 was coil spring/strait axle,
3/4 ton 4x4 was leaf spring.

I believe this was the case from the date the Twin I Beam was introduced, on to 79 at least.

Yup. Just talking about 73-79. I seen a picture today on a profile. It's a green CS with front leafs in a 2wd.

Maybe someone used a 3/4 front end with a strait axle? Who knows, real puzzler. I wouldn't mind seeing the picture.

Just because I haven't seen one doesn't mean much!! Lol

Never know. Someone could have put 150 emblems on a big truck.
I have e 250 emblems on my e450 to allow me to go in areas it would usually be banned from
