OEM blocks

Does anyone know if these blocks came with 3” wide springs? I think they are about 4” tall. I think at one time I had some, but that was a long time ago.

Most of the 3" wide blocks I've seen were not as tall, still had the bump-stop pad sticking out, but I can't remember seeing any with the u-bolt anchor holes. Doesn't mean they don't exist of course, unless fordrealdrive confirms.
The holes are a great idea actually, but maybe it got dropped after a time for costing a little too much. And maybe not being as needed with the wider block.

You can still get 3" wide 4" tall cast-iron blocks from the aftermarket, but none of them have the bump-stop pads, or bolt anchors.

Makes sense. Tall and narrow are not necessarily a good combination if a u-bolt gets loose or broken.

They might very well be from a bump side...I have parts and acquire more parts that are always handy to have. Here are some more #'s to run.
