FYI the leafs are different length compared to a regular Mustang so you need the bottom 3 leafs (or the complete spring)and not just the bottom leaf like you can get away with transfering on a regular Mustang.

69 shelbys will be s9ms or c9zx on bottom flat unique leaf and only use 2 wraps with a white color code on front eyelet .

My early car (100) has 5RS68 stamped on leaf springs.  Nothing else.

Correct only on very early 69 shelbys along with some other unique early car only features.
