I took the springs to Eaton yesterday and the guys there were fairly certain that both rear springs and the crudely cut front spring were all replacement springs. Having only one original spring, I decided to get all new springs. They should be ready in two weeks.

That would make sense to me also, judging by the springs on the 34 1100 chassis, although I am not sure exactly what is original on those. I suspect that the pack retaining clamps may be something added later as my most original looking pack has none and I suspect they may have been wrapped or bound with wire when new...?

Check the springs for part numbers stamped into the leaves. Original Packard springs had the numbers on them as well as the weight ratings.

Snapey, these springs should have tin covers affixed to them but they are long gone and like Jim mentioned, only the one good spring is stamped. I left the springs with Eaton however the one good spring had 950 stamped in to it which coincides with the 950 load rate shown in the parts catalog.
