Title: Correct rear spring numbers for 68 350 conv. Auto ?
Post by: Rukiddin on April 10, 2020, 11:55:07 AM
I looked for a chart that shows ID of rear springs without success.... I believe I saved these years ago when I did tear down. Jan.68 build. Thanks for any assistance.

Those ID numbers are for competition suspension leafs produced on Oct 27 1967 for a 68 Shelby .

Thanks for your help! I found other rear springs from many other projects,but needed confirmation before actually installing/restoring them. Would they be correct for KR convertible also? Once I started cleaning the leaf I found the original orange paint marking! I love this part of restoring.....
