SPID and Build sheet show HD front springs, HD rear springs, and the additional helper springs.

BTW, front springs are not off of the truck yet, but they look to have orange paint similar to the rear springs.

Front springs, 66’ C20 Custom Camper, orange rate color.
Optional 7500 GVW

Also if you can save the axle U bolts,they are in good condition, they are much better then what you buy today.

Mine has the same rear springs, with 7500 GVW rating.
