Early (March '63) fuelie rear spring

[Gerald J.]

Do all the leaves of the rear 9 leaf rear spring have the rubber separators? If not, how many and which ones do? A photo would be helpful.

Regards,
Jerry

As usual the 63 is unique. No cushion between the top two leaves.

Another unique thing about the 63 rear spring, the upper three leaves have an arch shape same as all the other leaves. The 64 and up top three leaves are flat.

Bob,

The ‘63 single-stage spring is unique for the standard suspension spring up thru 1974, but not for 75-77, and not for the HD (e.g., Z06, F40, F41, FE7, etc.) suspension rear springs. I think all of the HD rear springs up thru 1982 are single-stage.
