The wagon is in need of rear springs. I have an extra set of super stock vintage nos I bought probobly in the late 70's early 80's?? QUESTION - did the wagons share the same springs as the B bodies - its a "B" body wagon. Also if so - I have the mount extensions for super stock to plymouth - I think the ones to the bee are longer. What would the wagon take - thanks

Depends on the year,65 and earlier had a shorter front segment.

Are you looking for a nose down/ass in the air look on your wagon ?

Not really - was going to go with the super stocks because I own them - don't have to buy anything and they are either american or canadian. I don't remember where they were made but it wasn't china. I was thinking the same thing though - they might give way to much lift.

if the springs have been used they might not sit so high...

Never used them. I read in a chassis manual or direct connection catalog once that they could be used on wagons. (I think) I'll have to look up the part numbers.

My '69 Coronet 440, 6 passenger wagon with a 383 has more leaves than a 4 door sedan of the same year. Didn't the super stock springs lean over to left when they were new to compensate for the torque when drag racing?
