1960 leaf spring advice needed
My car does not have original leaf srpings. I don't have the grooves down the center.
Any good source for original dated springs ? If I find some I'll get them re-arched by a place like Eaton Detroit Spring and restore them.
Any good repros out there ?
Since the "Rear Suspension, all Components" section has 14 Originality and 14 Condition points, what kind of point hit would I have if I went with the current springs ?
The photos I have seem for this 375438 Rear Leaf Springs were both dated 28E0 for 28th day of 1960. E for Eaton and 0 for 1960 for "January 28, 1960". Do the dates vary much within a month ? Could Eaton have been just making a couple production runs a month ?
On original cars how close did the dates on the leaf springs tend to be to the car's production date ?
