Inspect the bend in the springs. Not likely any difference tho. The 55-56 manual pictures is not real clear as to what is front or rear of cars pics.

The sequence installation of the springs mite depend on rear park brake bar and or SELF adusting brakes BUT ONLY for ease of assembly.

As a side note, the 55-56 maunal aas well as the pic in post #1 of this thread shows less than craftsmannship for spring installation. THAT IS that the the spring(s) at the top anchor should be bent so that the non-tension margin of the spring is parallel to the sping. NOT kind of "J" shaped as is shown in the manual.
