Leaf Springs

Hi Bob,

All '56s came from the factory with the 4 leaf rear springs. In the Ford parts book it lists the following part numbers for the rear springs of a '56 (B7S 5560-A and B6S 5560-B), the former being the 5 leaf and the latter being the 4 leaf. The '56 definitely had a softer ride than the '55 model. I've never ridden in a '56 so I can't compare it to my '57. In the end the 5 leaf will probably give you better handling, at the expense of a slightly harder ride.

Regards,

Lew
