[Shotimes] GEN 1 -- Spring Designations and Shock Options

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

Fred:
 You need to get the three letter spring code from the front and rear
springs. This is on a tag attached to the spring itself. Sometimes the tag
is easy to find and sometimes it's not! Then you can decode the spring
rates. Ford used a whole bunch of different units.
