Default C1 Spring Date Codes

I know that I have seen this somewhere, just can not seem to remember where. How do you read the date codes on the small spring of the C1 leaf spring set up? The part number stamped into the spring matches up fine, just want to verify the right dates before I rebuild them. :chevy :steering:

The date codes are formatted like "275 E 7", which would be the 275th day of 1957 - the "E" stands for Eaton. :thumbs:

Thanks John!!!

I will have to look when I get home, but I remember it was a two digit number then E0, so that would make them in the first months of 1960, my car was late may, so that should work right!!!!!!!!
