I was extremely pleased to find not one , but both original coil spring tags still attached upon removal. Even more pleased when I looked up the YE code!
YE code springs were used on 1968 L34 cars that had F-41 special suspension. I am finding many things on this car that point to original equipment and now this find gives even more credibility to this car being an original L34 survivor.
I just wanted to share this with everyone as it is so cool to see this kind of clue from
the past. (Hopefully the photos will attach).
I would also like to hear from anyone that has further information on exactly what the F-41 option included or any other information.
Craig.
Nice work. Is the plan to preserve the springs or are you replacing?
I know the feeling-mine.
Also, from a rusted out hulk.
Great News Craig, Keep digging and the evidence will accumulate.
cook_dw. Definitely going to preserve them. Already took the to a local spring manufacture and had them tested. They are still good springs. I've blasted them to remove rust. Paint is next step. Thinking going with a low sheen black. Any other suggestions for original color?
I soaked mine in Evaporust for a couple of days. Dried them & shot them with satin clear...Joe
Definitely go with the evaporator and semi gloss. New tags will make it sweet?
Not black, "natural" is correct.
All cleaned up and painted clear.
Any source on a YE sticker? You can find many codes at the usual suspects but not finding the YE.

Agree with Joe, but I'd consider placing the original stickers back on if possible if your trying to maintain being a survivor. The tag shown looks like a great candidate to re-use. Just a thought!
