F41 rear springs

[x66 714]

I am the original owner of a original unrestored 1969 SS 396/375 car with F41 suspension.  The rear springs (original) are 4 leaves with the paper tag BM (in silver).  The rear shocks (original) are UN from the Body Broadcast Sheet.  I can't see all the p/n but I think the last 3 digits on the rear shocks are 851. 

This car too is 375hp original owner. 11,998 original miles. Cortez w/black top. I couldn't read the sticker on the shock but it's still there...Joe

While you are looking at F41 cars I would like to know the label marking on the front springs and the label marking the front shocks and p/n if you can see it.  This is a 1969 SS 375/396 with F41 and 4.10 rear axle.  The spring chart says they are either HH or HJ front springs (do you add the weight of the L78 or is it already included in the chart?).  It is 4-speed without a console.  My car is original with less than 10,000 miles.

It also has the F44 special steering.  It has the normal AN manual steering box.  I'm not sure what else made the F44 steering vs the normal SS steering on the 396.  It is VERY hard to steer at low speeds.

Thanks

N44 fast-ratio steering was the standard manual gearbox with a longer pitman arm [5.75"] and shorter steering arms, same as Z/28.

If I can find a place to take one of my other car, he will let me put the car in my garage to inspect & take pictures. Would like to post pictures in the original car details. Yours sound like something others would enjoy pictures of....Joe
