When I installed my Super Stock springs ('63 Sport Fury)there was a 
notation in the catalog I think, (Jegs) that said the car would not sit 
level after installation.  I'm assuming that one side is beefier to 
handle the torque being transferred to the rear end.  Another thing that 
was interesting to note.  I originally ordered stock replacement 
springs.  These were supposed to be a direct bolt in.  but when I got 
them the spring perches were off by @ 3/4".  So since Jeg's couldn't 
figure out what the correct application was I decided to try the SS 
springs.  It was also noted in the catalog that they might require the 
longer front hangers.  But as it turned out they bolted right in.  So I 
think as is often the case the parts I was getting would have fit the 
way the catalog suggested in a '64 or'65 'B' body.  Since those years 
are so popular a lot of things are geared towards them.  Finding parts 
for my '63 is just that much harder.  (You should hear me whine to my 
buddy who's restifying his '62 chebbie about parts price and 
availability.)
