1969 rear spring

[Francais D.]

I just recently posted a thread about my rear end , got a lot of help and great suggestions. I have two remaining questions , one is my spring was replaced with a seven leaf before i bought it, i have been trying to figure out what years will fit my 69. Are they different , what years would be correct if i buy a used original? The second one is what color paint can i use on driveshaft stencil , Quanta is out of theirs. I have looked at 4th and 5th restoration guide and the archives here , is there place on this site that i am missing that i can go to for help , thanks

Francis,

The same 9-leaf, two-stage rear leaf spring, GM 3850839 was used from 1964 thru 1974.

Thanks Gary, now are the four bolts the same for 7 and 9 leaf springs ,or are they longer. I have two sets one with WB headmark and one set with TR headmark but they are all same length
