For a 1970 Dart 340, should the rear leaf spring hanger attachment (forward attachment with 4-studs) be 1/2" or 5/8?

Should be 5/8 with 340 springs but it could be either. Stuff gets changed after 50 years and who knows if the factory always did what it was supposed to do.

Agree with the aboves.
A good break down of most of the springs/bushing combos.
