    Hudson # 305667 for load 950 rate 120. Part # 305669 load 975 rate 140. Part # 305433 load 950 rate 120. Part # 305668 load 1000 rate 120. These were the offered spring sets and their various ratings from 48-54 for the rear leaf springs. The main leaf spring number be 302193 for set 305667. The main leaf spring for set 305433 would be 302827. Hope this helps.

    Here are the numbers from the 48-54 Parts book.

    Spring and cover assembly:48 thru 54 all except Jet

    Standard load rate for 4d,2d,cpe is 950-120 PN 302760

    Also PN 305433 and 305667. without the cover.

    Optional load 975-140 PN 302762 with cover. without cover is PN 305669



    Main leaf PN for the 302760 spring assembly is 302193 and 305660 for the 305433

    There are several for the Jet, and for convertible and Hollywoods, which may be why he sees so many numbers in his book.

    Good Luck, dave W. Fl.

    Hey!! I hope he knows. Think it would make him real happy knowing someone in his family is restoring a car he once owned. Sure is a lot of work ,and money. But also a lot of fun!!
