Dang, Just found out my aunt passed away. She had been going downhill the last year. She had a bad stroke 40 or so years ago and has spent most of her time wheelchair bound. RIP aunt Ellen.

Condolences...

Hmm I have a fender tag. Would it tell me?

Nope!

Interesting. The 66 spec is 5 1/2 leaf for the 4 barrel V8. Under "Suspension". I must have counted the wrong end. I counted 6 leaves on my originals. LOL

Found it for the 64.

They told me that they eyeball each pair of springs so they are the same height, seems the other companies just throw a set of springs in the box and
most of time not the same..

Eyeballing is not a very accurate way to measure....

That's just what I said. One spring listed.
No heavy duty option listed in '64 dealer books for Plymouth or Dodge.
The 1970 Hamtramck Registry - 1964 Dodge Dealership Data Book - Index
Now if the order sheets show otherwise, then that's got more weight.

I love coffee ice cream...especially Breyers!

You should try some of our local ice cream shop ice cream... It's hand made...

The Plush Horse, a family-owned parlor at 12301 S. 86th Ave. in Palos Park, has been serving homemade ice cream since the 1930s.

I think Ca had plans for us to BUY a tracking device to record that info. They have to do something to maintain the $ for maintenance of the highways. More Hybrids+more Plug-Ins=Less revenue.

Big brother is watching you...

Yeah, ok.

But forget the number of leafs for the moment, what was the spring rate? And how did it compare with the torsion bar spring rate? Also remember that those cars were using the finest mid 60s shock technology that added nothing to the performance of the suspension other than mild dampening.

They were giant floating marshmallows that couldn’t corner if their life depended on it. Bias ply tires that had 5” of tread width and all the grip of a hockey puck.

Build it to what it should be, forget what it was.

And 56" matches the Spring dimensions for Stengel Bros., (Stanley Springs, Harrisburg Pa. is who they were buying from)

The only thing the option code books list is a #602 code "H.D. Suspension"
