124 rear suspension does have the rubber spring pads on top of the rear
springs; during my inspection recently I noted that mine have 3-tab
pads; if I replace, I'll need new pads with 3 tabs to match the
thickness specified by MB.
MB uses a formula to determine pad thickness. That formula

Yes, all the current crop of pickups is a case in point. In 1964, a
1/2 ton pickup stood about 3' at the top of the hood, and maybe 5.5'
at the top of the cab. Most average people could hand wash it

Ok, my 76 115 300D needs speakers (and the radio installed since it now has a
hole in the dash where it is supposed

have wondered how easy it will be to
find replacement.

I'm not sure why they used a red and blue in the spring designation, but
blue springs were usually stiffer or stronger than red, and took a thinner
