Hi everyone, got a dumb question for you all. I have a 73C10 Stepside. Before I got the truck, some previous owner decided to "lower" it. They cut springs in the front and removed leaves out of the rear.

I've rectified the front, but I'm stuck with the back. It needs those leaves back in. I need to know how many leaves are in a standard duty pick up assembly (on each side).

I don't have any other vehicles to reference off. Living in almost the middle of Australia will do that to you.

Your help is appreciated

I had a feeling it might be 5. There's currently 3(?). I got new shocks in there but it needs those extra leaves to ride properly. Thanks for reaching out

I've got a 76 short stepper frame that I'll get you a pic of tomorrow. I believe it's 5 leaves as well.

Thanks mate!
5 seems to be the magic number so I'll go talk to a suspension shop
