I can not find these two spring part numbers (2539794 & 2539964) in my parts books. Can anyone help me identify the usage? Thanks! Joe

Dang, That's cool. Never seen the stamps before.

I have notes from several parts books (various years) and the DC Speed Secrets books but focused mainly on A-body springs. However, it looks like in '65 they were using springs starting with 2495,
in '68, 2808xxx, and then in 1969, 3004xxx except for certain heavy duty and the 383 equiped cars which continue to use the older 2808 spring series.

The only reference to a 2539 leaf in my notes comes from the Chassis Secrets book p156 and in the Rally Prep section p. 58. Its says 2539 324 is for 'race' Barracudas and Darts. What that means, and whether there's a typo (those books were badly edited) is a good question. I would think the SS springs would have a right and left number. IF its not a P-part number, my guess is its from '66 - '68. If you measure the front and rear segments, overall lengths you should be able to figure out which chassis they were for.

I found this on a quick search.

I can tell you those are the numbers used in my '71 Charger R/T. My build sheet lists part numbers 794 & 964. Actually I need a 2539964. My car has 2 794's in it. May have been a factory error...I don't know. Please send me a pm if you'd be interested in selling yours.

The 794s were a b-body "POLICE" package pair. If they are/were new they may have been what was available NOS when the car was fixed/restored/other.

My 1970 GTX 440-6 springs has same numbers as above and they match with broadcast sheet.

My 71 Six Pack RoadRunner also had those springs. One thing I found strange is that the 2539794 had a 2" front bushing and the other had a 1.5" bushing. Anyone else's springs the same????

hi,both front bushings should be the 1.50s for your car. somehow/someone replaced the main leaf with a 2" light duty leaf due to a accident or main spring front eye failure. ronnie

These same springs are original to my car ('68 Charger RT 4 speed). Most other charger RTs that I have seen always have the 795, 965 springs. I don't know what the real story is for these springs.

Hello,

I know this is an old post. Those spring numbers you mention match my factory super bird springs. It is a factory 440 4 speed car. No ifs, ands, or buts.

963/793, 964/794, and 965/795 are factory springs for B body with 426 and 440 engines, 1968-1971 and some later B body Chargers. These springs had 6 full steel spring leaves on the left side and 5 leaves plus 2 half leaves forward of the axle on the right side. As with all cars, the factory parts numbers embossed on the bottom leaves are not listed in parts books, because parts desk part numbers were not the same as factory production numbers, but the last three digits mentioned will appear on the build sheets.
