On my truck, Talking about the front leaf springs, The fixed bolt is behind the bumper. The shackles are by the engine.

Jeff,
It would do no good. I have the springs all apart almost ready for paint.
I see your local, We will have to meet and swap stories.

On my '50 COE truck the hooked spring faces forward, at the fixed bolt (the shackle on COEs on the front spring is at the rear).
