71 GTX Suspension Leaf Spring - 09/23/10 09:21 PM

Can anyone tell me how many leaf springs per side an orginal 71 440 GTX had? Is it 6 on drivers side and 5 on the passenger? Are they "full" leafs?
Thanks,
Nuke

I have a 71 I just bought in april from the original owner. Never touched. The left side has six leafs the right side has five. The springs are set up progressively, short on the bottom, longest on the top. Kevin

Known as the Heavy Duty or HEMI suspension, the left side has 6 full leaves, and the right side has 5 full leaves + (2) 1/2 leaves.
