: I am beginning reassembly of a '28 Special Coupe.The leaf springs have been dissasembled, sand blasted, primed and painted black.At reassembly, should the leaves be lubricated?If so, what lubricant is recommended?

I believe the best lubricant for the springs is the graphite grease like that used originally.The grease is intended to dry out and leave the graphite in place to do the job.
I'm not sure where to purchase it these days but start by asking your local auto parts dealer.
