Plate for the top of the rear coil ?

[Alberta Newbie]

Hi all,

I'm replacing the coils on the back of my 72 GMC 3/4 ton, and the PO had done some questionable things to the rear axle (i.e. replaced U bolt with 2 regular bolts)

Now I'm not sure if he removed the plates from the top of the rear coils, or if there weren't any to start with. Can someone help me out ?

(Just to clarify, I'm talking about the plates that hold the bottom of the coil to the trailing arm. Where the top of the coil touches the frame there's only a bolt head sticking out...)
