 Now I'm on a mission! Paul L and some of the other 63 B body owners, could
you please send me the front and rear length diminsons of your rear springs
. It appears they are different between 64 and 65, so I want to find out
what the 63 are. Measure from the hole in the middle of the shock plate to
the center of the pins . Thanks, ..................................MO

Yes Herb, I too thought it was figgered out, until I measured mine.  Maybe
Rich K would measure his and let us know. I think his is stock length with
added leaves-not SS. I am beginning to think not all SS springs are created
equal.  Could it be that the companys that use 2" spacers be selling shorter
springs like say A body SS springs-but heavier duty?  That would be cheaper
for them to stock less springs and make more money by selling the 2"
extensions. for B body's.  Would they do something like
that??:-).........................MO

We had this conversation about 6 Months ago on the board and every one came
to an agreement 62 / 63 20 inches no spacer and 64 / 65 22 inches two inch
spacer for SS springs to fit.  Now MO goes and throws a wrench in the game
with a 64 with 20 inch spacing.   (-:   MO was your car an early production
car that might have used 63 parts??  The conversation was about Layne
Grissman trying to fit just the SS springs with out spacers on a 64 and had
to ultimately purchase the 2 inch spacers to have every thing align up.  You
know what they say, never say never!

I measured my stock springs on my 64 Dodge B body yesterday and the front
part measured 20" . They must be stock springs, there is no front spacer.
Herb is well informed, but something doesn't jibe--- The Question
continues...................MO
