Some models had 10 = leaves and some 11 (e.g. Petrol V's Diesel Series II) there is also a = difference between drivers and passenger side. 10 leaves will give a softer ride but will bottom out earlier under = load. So yes you can buy a series 3 set of springs for your 1956 86". = Just be sure to get a matched pair.=20 All that's as clear as mud? Welcome to the Series One List.
