Inspection marks OVER the top of black paint. These were one of the few leaf springs that were painted and not left natural.

Looks that Troy made a point to say that only a few pairs came out painted black and leaving the remaining majority left natural to quickly rust. How few were black can be debated and what the majority is on opposite end too. I don't believe he mentioned T/A springs, but we can surmise the same supplier supplied Dodge the same units and that 'some' may have also been painted.

I can say that my T/A springs were black!!

I took many pictures of them because most of the springs out there were left natural and then dipped in Cosmoline. When I saw evidence of black paint on my springs I started to take note. I carefully started to chip the pink and green inspection mark paint off and there was black paint under it.

I have over 2500 (yes, I said 2500!!) pictures of my car coming apart and going back together. These cars are only original once and if you don't document your findings, all that history is lost.

Can anyone here help Moparclown identify his rear springs 3400043, and maybe identify these too...3400024. The I.D stamp on spring does not match the factory part numbers and we need to know where to get the info as well. TIA.

3400024 is the passenger side spring for a '70-1 S15 XHD suspension E-body. Also known as the "hemi" suspension. Would be standard on a U, V, or R-code E-body and optional on all others.

The matching left is # 3400034

Much abliged - now if we can only get an answer for Moparclown and his 043 spring...all will be peachy.

Hemi and 340 'Cudas alone came standard with 15" wheels, S15 XHD suspension, and 11" drums around, correct me when wrong as always. Thanks again brother.

Hey Doug!

Some (but not all) 1970 Barracuda & Challenger with 318.

1970 E-bodies with 383 2-bbl

1970 Cuda & Challenger R/T with 383 4bbl.

Maybe others?

Barry,
I checked quickly for rear spring part numbers on my BH27NOB this weekend and didn't readily see any part numbers on them, a closer inspection when they are completely unbolted from rear axle in less than two weeks will net the answer.

They have 4 1/2 leaves on each side - as do the majority of non-Hemi/340 70-71 E Bodys. We must remember there are Stnd duty and also Hvy Duty 4 1/2 leaf springs - a small but definite difference. My BCS has S13 susp & 044 code for rear springs, so I think its safe to include a BH27N and JH27N on the list for 043 springs too.

I did see in the '70-1 Parts catalog that HT 318/383 2bbl gets a different Std duty spring than Conv 318/383. And may have meaning for the 043 springs and there correct application(s).

Thanks Barry and ebodyseast
I don't know if this will help?but those were out of my 70 Challenger 340 auto car.I didn't think they were original,cause the car did a lot of time at Englishtown dragway and at some point in it's life it was flipped on it's roof.Now you got me thinking that they were originals to that car.The car also had the large drum brakes frt. and rear.
