Leaf springs 63 S22 260

Post by junkmurray »

Hey there. Well I'm continuing on my car to-do list and right after I replace the radiator I'm planning on replacing the leaf springs. Pulled out my parts book and unless I'm reading it incorrectly it shows that the 63 S22 260 had 6 leaf springs. Looking under my car and I swear there are only 4 leafs.

So never having done this before I'm wondering which is correct. And there are any other questions I need to ask while replacing the leaf springs? I currently have 195/65R15 tires (Cragar rims). Back end fender is down to about the inside of the rim but maybe that's where it's supposed to be?

Thanks as always.

Just to close this message. I ended up ordering leaf springs from ESPO and they confirmed the information that's in my 1963 Master Parts Catalog, i.e., 1963 V8 Comets had 6 leaves. Smaller engines in 63 had 5 leaves.
