'65 Dart leaf springs.

-
Just a note. 5 leaf is standard suspension and 6 leaf is HD suspension. Unless your car has a front sway bar, it is probably the standard 5 leaf.
 
Called them on a pair for my '63 Valiant station wagon.
When l told the "salesman" that they were for a wagon the price DOUBLED ! ! When l asked why he said station wagon springs were made out of thicker material and that the metal properties of the material were different, yada, yada, yada....
I told him no thanks.

Got them from ESPO and am happy.
Good customer service.

I went to the local "spring place" here in town, and they wanted more for each spring than both General Springs and ESPO takes for both springs. Had planned to re arch them myself, but they look a little peculiar to me, like it is a groove down the middle of the leaves when I look from the end. And it is too time consuming too since the car has to be in the driveway when I do it.

No, my car does not have a sway bar. I was so sure my old station wagon had, so when I got this I could not believe my own eyes that it had no sway bar. I had to crawl under there two times and pinch my arm to be sure.
By the way, those two pics of my old station wagon was taken by Ulf (65dartcharger) in my garage 30 years ago. I was not using the car by then, that is when I became a tad silly and started messing with them Fords and forgot how nice the Slant Six sounded.... well, I did not forget it, I was just being silly.
