As you can see from the previous photos the condition of the original leaf springs & perches. An additional spring was added at some point and since I am trying to get it back how it was I left the 5th spring in place.
Photo 881 - The spings after cleaning and before preserving.
Photos 882 - 883 - GM U stamping on the original springs
Photos 884 - 886 - One of the springs after preserving and one of the perches.
Photos 887 - 888 - Perch bolted and # "20" stamping.
Photos 889 -891 - Drivers spring installed. Ignore the finger prints from the gloves. You will also note off to the side you will see I also installed new (actually used but still flexable vs the originals had dry-rotted) rocker "drain flappers" (technical term)
Photos 892 - 894 - Passenger side
Photo 895 - After and the springs are wiped down and a wrap until I get the diff installed and suspension loaded before I tighten the bushings.
