All the above advice is good. I did the suspension on my '66 using 620 coils on the front and 5 leaf on the rear from Mustang plus. I actually cut about a 1/4 coil off the front springs to get the ride height I wanted. If you use 5 leaf on the rear, use the mid eye as that lowers about an inch to match the 620's with plain thickness(poly) insulators on the front. As I said, I had to cut another 1/4 coil off the fronts, but don't do that until you have tried them on first. I know , twice the work. Measure twice, cut once.
