Does anyone know if the leaf springs on a HEMI B-Body are different from a 440 B-body? Does a HEMI spring have a longer segment in it? I was at a garage sale this weekend and pointed out some leaf springs he had and he says "yeah, those are for a HEMI car, you can tell by the longer segment". I came home and looked at a set of my normal B-body 4-speed leaf spings and they do not have the longer segment he pointed out? Could it be.....long lost HEMI car leaf springs?

Super Stock springs had the shorter front segment.
XHD springs were the same for the 440 and Hemi.

Well, I ended up getting them on the cheap, soon as I can I'll post some pics and see if you guys can help me figure out what the heck they are...me personally, I think they probably fit the ultra rare hardly ever seen 68 HEMI Superbird with the optional low wind resistance rear spring package.
