Need help with Leaf springs and passenger outer door handle.

[1972_Buford]

1972 longbed C20 3/4 ton.

#1My problem is the rear is sitting low. The preivious owner told me he thought someone tried to lower it and probably took a leaf out. I counted 3 on there now and I was wondering if this is common for people to do it? I also want to put it back to stock height for now and wondering where I could get the missing piece(s). I would take pictures but it is raining out right now.

Any help appreicated.


#2 The passenger side door handle is pushed all the way in and not coming out. I assume I'll just have to take out the handle and go through it but wanted to see opinions/options on this to find out if this is a common thing.

Thanks again
