    No. The B body main leaf is an inch longer. On XHD versions, B body have extra leaves on the right side only. E bodies have extra leaves pointing forward on the right side and backwards on the left side.

    However, is you retain the E body main leaf, you can swap over the rest of the B body pack.

    OK, to be "bolt on", it has to be for E-body only..

    P4452982 O.E. Leaf Spring — Right (1966–72 B-Body) 99.50 
    P4452983 O.E. Leaf Spring — Left (1966–72 B-Body) 99.50 
    P4452984 O.E. Leaf Spring — Right (1970–74 E-Body) 92.50 
    P4452985 O.E. Leaf Spring — Left (1970–74 E-Body) 92.50 


    B-Body: front 22", rear 36".
    What is the rear on E-body..  35"..???

    Rear on an A body spring is 35, but the front is only 20". So, you could use A body springs on an E body, but to do so you would now need super stock front hangers.
