1972 front and rear springs

[Edward McComas]

Can anyone tell me (since I don't have my parts book in front of me) if the front coil springs and the rear leaf spring for a base motor 1972 Corvette are still available from GM? What are the part numbers, if so. Car is equipped with A/C and standard suspension. Standard rear spring for this car is 9 leaf, correct?

Virtually all Corvette springs, front and rear, for ALL 1953-82 Corvettes are GM-discontinued, including those for a standard suspension 1972 as you describe. The ONLY exception is the 63-75 F-40/F-41/FE-7 front coil springs.

The original spring part numbers for the AC-equipped 72 that you describe were GM #3931824, front, and GM #3850839, rear. The latter was a 9 leaf spring.
