I scanned a page from parts book with leaf
spring #’s and sent it to Ed. Hope that helps. I (actually)
remember back in 60’s when I had my first 59 Sport Fury, I broke a leaf
in rear springs on 2 or 3 separate occasions. Several years ago when I
purchased my 4-dr Fury it had a broken leaf. Later when I got my current
Sport Fury the rear springs were flat, no arch, and car rode terribly. I
purchased a 59 parts car for the tranny and luckily by chance that car had 2
perfectly good rear springs and they were 6 leaf, the type that came in the
Suburban, not the standard 5 leaf that came in passenger cars. Car
rides great and no broken leafs. So when replacing rears try for the 6
leaf instead of the 5.
