   This is the style I like, under the body so you can still utilize the back seat. However I was a little taken aback when I noticed the asking price. I don’t know that much about Willy’s 3 pt lift systems but maybe this is a fair price? (or maybe just supply and demand?)

   My brother has a pair of springs leftover from a pickup he had that look the same as the ones in the picture. Are they just aftermarket or particular to Newgren ?

   Blaine: I don’t have any brochures indicating that Newgren sold springs. However, according to one document from an early 1950s Willys Industrial Equipment Book, the correct installation of certain equipment required certain accessories (from the factory). For example:

   The Trencher on a CJ-3A required (listed by Factory Code order number) the following equipment:
   1- Drawbar
   2A – PTO Complete
   2D – Pulley & Pulley Drive
   4 – Governor
   9 – Front Bumper Weight
   24 – Hot Climate Radiator
   36 – 7.00×15, 4ply, N.D. Tire
   40A – Heavy Duty Rear Springs

   Also receiving the Heavy Duty Rear Springs (40A) were:
   The Howe Fire Truck package
   Earth Drill package
   The Monroe Fire Plow & Pumper Unit package
   Lift Equipment packages
   Lubritruck package
   Movie Truck package
   Drawbar Mount winch package
   Canfield Wrecker packages
   Manley Wrecker packages

   When Power Equipment (left undefined as to what constituted that) was installed, the Heavy Duty Rear spring package was 40B, or just the right side received a heavy duty rear spring.

   I suspect this sold, but don’t know for sure. I’ve updated the post. If I see it again I will drop you an email.

   Yes it was sold to a teacher who was going to demonstrate it to his students. Nice system at the time and complete too.
