A couple of days ago I used the same website that Rackman referenced and it was a HUGE help. My old drums were so full of 40 year old mud that I had to drive them off with a 16 pound sledge...needless to say, I didn't have much to go by in terms of existing locations of springs!

By the way, the strut springs do not come in any of the hardware kits so you need to get them at a parts store. Napa was the only one I could find that knew what they were. I can find the part number if you need it.

Good luck.
