These are supposed to be SS A-body springs, but now I'm not so sure. The SS springs seem to have 4 1/2 leafs and these clearly have five full springs. Part number search on this site came up zilch. Part # is 3400072. Any input would be good.

Really? I would call that short leaf a "half".
 
Looks like 318 standard springs. Are they both the same number? SS are usually 369xxxx or 412xxxx

Yes, they are both the same number and I think you are probably right. Most likely springs for '70 Dusters with the six or the 318. I've done a little searching and that's the best I can figure. Thanks for chiming in.

SS springs are different for each side. 318s had 5 leafs and most /6s had 4. Can you get your money back?

Not a problem, they came with an 8 3/4 I bought. Guy just threw them in. He wasn't sure and neither was I. If they were SS I would put them on my saggy '74 and then build a 340. I'll find a set somewhere, no rush, I have a '68 B-body that has been taking up a lot of my time.
