Rear Leaf Spring Date Codes
« on: December 17, 2021, 04:17:36 PM »
Asking members if they own a 69 or have access to a 69 built at any of the different plants if they can check the stampings on their rear leaf springs and provide that information here. Will take Cougar data also.

When posting please provide a sequential number, real build date if available along with the stamping on the leaves. Sides can be different from the dating stand point so both would be helpful. Trying to figure out when the pattern changed from the earlier pattern.

Thanks
