Dug out Beater time to work...

When you look at the other end of the spring can you see if the whole spring has moved,or has it moved because it has a break in it?

No the spring is not broke (they are actually in verry nice shape) But the whole number 3 leaf is forward, not sure if it is a mess up at the plant or if someone did it I plan on taking the center bolt out to see if it has been re drilled, im real curious if anyone has seen this before?

From the rear side and forward side you can see the whole leaf forward?

That's odd

What are your plans for the car? Drive, beat and enjoy? If so, I highly suggest getting a pair of Global West leaf springs. I cannot truly express how well they handle. My Z handle like a dream.

The car is nothing rare but someone did build it as a drag car, I would like to leave a few of the fingerprints on it so they will stay tonight I will pull the center bolt and have a peak to see if it has been redrilled, I do not want to bend the clamps but I think with the bolt out I will be able to spread them enough to tell.

I took the upper leaf off looks like another odd part on beater, spring was off set from factory? intended or mistake? the spring has not been redrilled.

maybe a custom set to prevent wrap up, did it come off the pass side?

I think you're on to something!

Maybe the leaf was replaced,no hole...Looks like some home made super stock work.

Yes the spring that is odd was on the pass side, originally I was thinking I needed to find a new set of springs but im just going to clean these up replace the front bushing and put them back.
