Two questions:
1) What is correct wheel backset for a '64 W200 pickup?
2) My '64 W200 currently has 7-leaf 1550 lbs springs in the fron, and 5-leaf unknown at the rear (my parts book doesn't show a rear 5-leaf spring for a W200). I would like to give my kidneys a rest and was considering the more tame 1350 lbs front springs. What should I run on the rear, given that I don't do any heavy hauling or towing? And, are such springs still available NOS? (I guess that makes it three questions.)
