I'm working on a customer's 62 which is sort of numbers matching (it has original 300hp block and T-10). It is a 300hp, 4sp, posi (apparently non original rear center) 2 top car. No evidence of HD or metallic brakes, no fast steering adapter, nothing. BUUUUUUUUUUUT, it has 5 leaf rear springs. No liners, 5 clamps per side (3 at the front and 2 rear) and riveted from the bottom. The clamps wrap around and are open at the top. The leaves do not have grooves.
What are these springs?
I also have a virgin survivor 62 (rough, but it's all there) that I'm storing for the estate of a lady who is in a nursing home. It has what I am 100% convinced is the original 4 leaf springs with liners and different style clamps. Each leaf of the 4 leaves seems thicker than each leaf of the 5 leaves.
To the best of my knowledge, the only way 5 leaves could have ended up on a 62 is if they were added AFTER (1 day or 30yrs) delivery of the car. Right?
