Overload spring question

Can anyone tell me if these are for a coil or leaf rear end? Anyone have a picture of these installed? Thanks

Re: Overload spring question

the 1/2 leaves were an option on 2wd trucks with rear coil springs/trailing arms. personally i think they are ugly and if you need the extra capacity, you might as well just go with 3/4 ton rear coils because they respond instantly to extra weight and it just looks cleaner too. but still, an interesting vintage piece or equipment...

as for the coil over shocks....probably added after the truck hit the streets.
