1970 E-Body Part #2835235 on both sides. Possibly an over the counter MP SS springs? I can't find this number listed anywhere. Any help would be appreciated. Low mileage car that was drag raced most it's life. Thanks in advance!

After disassembly and stripping the leafs, I have uncovered more information. Here is what was stamped into the last spring near the center hole:

712
76 (Pentastar)
0428

Anyone?

The 4 digit number should be a date.

0428 - 42nd day of '68 = Sunday, 2/11/68

The one thing I am positive of is that they are E-body leaf springs as all the measurements are spot on and they were on the car. I am inclined to the notion that they are over the counter Mopar performance springs? Does anyone have an old Mopar Performance book or guide with numbers?

These are seven (7) leaf springs as well......

Aren't the e-body springs the same length as b-body? I had some 7 leaf springs for a 68-69 GTX 4-speed I think, been awile.

NO, 65-70 B-body springs are an inch longer at 22" center front and 36" center back, where E-body springs are 22" center front and 35" center back.

1968 Hemi A-body are the same as E-body oddly enough though........

Does anyone have a Mopar Performance Part Book???

The 28xx xxx part number would be a new part from around 1968.
The date appears to indicate 1968.
Stamped rear spring numbers and catalog part numbers are NOT the same.
6 or 7 leafs? Any half leafs?

Anyone have the stamped numbers from the '67 SS b-body rear springs?

WAG they are assembled from the original 024/034s & '68 Fury /6 235s.
