The leafs on my front leaf springs do not line up with each like the rears do. Is this by design or is there a broken pin or bracket that is supposed to keep them in line?

If the leaves not being aligned is what you're talking about Gary,
this should show you the clips that should be on your springs.

Denny -

Are the clips riveted to the springs or are they loose? The clips on my '54 with heavy duty rear springs can slide back and forth.

Thanks,

We are talking about the front spring here, and yes the clip is
flush riveted on the inside to the leaf. You can see the formed
or secondary head on the outside of the clip in the photo.

Also, the rear clips are a riveted to the leaf.
