Can anyone I.D. these leaf springs part numbers?

Hello.... the leaf springs on my Superbird clone have been on my car for at least 18 years since I've owned it.  The leaf springs have the following numbers on  them: 253 9954 and 253 9794.  I had a friend check his MPC for 1969 and 1970 ... and they were not listed. I am thinking maybe mid 60 's based on the part numbers. They have 5  plus the 1/2 leafs .  Very stout.
Thanks and Godspeed,
JON

Hi Jon,

I cannot find the exact part numbers you've listed in the "E" Series Sales Code breakdown, although the Extra HD springs found on quite a few musclecars in the mid/late 60's have a very similar part number:

2539 795 - Left Side Rear Spring w/ S15 ExHD (Hemi) Suspension Package
2539 965 - Right Side Rear Spring w/ S15 ExHD (Hemi) Suspension Package

One of the documents I found says that the parts book part number and the stamped/casting number should read the same, but I don't want to guarantee that's correct.  What I'm seeing could be some sort of an assembly number rather than the # physically stamped on the spring.  Incidentally, the '70-71 parts book lists a different spring part number - but judging from your description, I think you have a fine set of springs on your car.

THanks ever so much. thining of having them replaced but they ride really nice for now.  Planning on a rear way bar from Frim feel to match the other goodies I have installed. I most likely will replace U bolts at that time and put in new bushings too. 

Thanks again and Godspeed,

JON
