Just picked this critter up a few weeks back. Looking around under it, I noticed the thing had 7 leaf springs plus the mounting bar on each side. Curious as to if this is the norm? Anyone got one or other wise know what theirs is, such as number of leafs?

I note there is new iron under there, holding the leaf springs.

Tugging at my memory is that my old 69 C10 step side might have had coils.

Seams correct, a suspension spring shop can add or remove as many leafs as you would like the ride to feel like
