Below are a few pics of the rear spring assembly that was on my truck. Full set of helper springs. When removed ALL of the perches came off the axle housing with the exception of a “locating strip “ that seems to be riveted to the housing, on the underside of the axle. I have looked at the only pic in the 41-46 shop manual that I see showing the spring assembled to the axle. It looks to me like the perch bolts to the axle in the opposite direction compared to what I currently have.
Do I need to find a set of single spring perches for this axle? Do i remove the “locator strip”, and will I find a locator pin on the axle for the perch? I am installing a 3” drop block and posie drop springs.
Appreciate any info.
