Jason,

If Mike at AFC can find an original '63 spring, then another possibility for you it to find one on your own and restorer it yourself, or use the top 3 leaves along with your '64 or newer take-off GM spring, which looks spot-on for a '64 and up spring. Frankly I'm shocked at the $695 price from AFC.

Jason,

Original C2 springs did not come with those two bands around the 3 longest leaves. What's the label on the underside of the main leaf?

Jason, the top 3 leafs can be bend (need a press) to look like the other 63 springs, I have done this on 3 later springs and ride height was still perfect. And if you have a problem with the car sitting low with the original spring, try using the main leaf from the Eaton assy. have done this on one spring and worked again.
