Aw, rats! threw away the wrong leaf spring pack.

The donor chassis had what looked likt the usual leafs. But one side had a broken main leaf. I knew the rolling chassis coming in had a pair, so tossed the one with the broken leaf.

Turns out the incoming ones are strange. Two leafs wrap around the eye bushings, the clips point downwards, and the leaf directly under the main leafs is three short pieces end to end. And one has a broken main leaf to boot, or I would use them as is. They are the right length, and just as thick a stack, though with more, thinner leafs, which is good for the ride.

Anybody know what they were off of originally?
