Hi, i'm looking for an original set of rear leaf springs for a 70 challenger RT 383 4brl automatic i recently purchased, i think the part # may be 3420179 or 3400890 4 1/2 leaves, i would like to find a set that is not to rust damaged, the springs that someone put on the car are after market of some kind very thick leaves & very stiff. Must be OEM no aftermarket.

Any original springs you find will have softened with age and make the car sit way too low at the rear. They will need to be re-tempered and re-cambered.

Dave, Thanks for your response, but I would be OK with having a set re arched or rebuilt, originality is what i'm looking for.
