Is a stock 67 mono-leaf spring 2.5" wide at the spring "eyes" at both ends and 2.25" wide at the rear end pad area???
I ask this because the 68-74 Nova three leaf mono-leaf replacements I am using are 2.5" total and required that I trim my poly pads to get them to fit my rear end mounts.
They work fine, but I wasn't expecting to have to trim my poly pads.
Does this mean that nobody is making a true "bow-tie" shaped stock replacement mono-leaf spring??? pdq67

I am not sure if there is any true repos. out there or not. All of them that I have seen needed the spring pads trimmed. I would call Classic Industries. They claim to have exact bolt in replacement springs. Their number is....1-800-854-1280. Good luck, Bob.
