Are you familiar with this forums' library? There is a link to "Ford Car Parts" (aka MPC) in the 1969 related section (and each of the others). Familiarize yourself with this document (my paper copy takes up 8 3 inch binders). It has just about all the SERVICE replacement stock numbers listed, including coil springs and their ID markings. Try section 53. I just looked. There's stuff there.

Don't see a 69 in your signature so guessing your asking about a different car. When was the 69 built?

We can get that info from another cars buildsheet often Part Catalogs list only replacement or what Ford carried at the time as a service part

I had just combed through the library unsuccessfully when i posed the question.  I?ll revisit it per your lead.  Thanks

Jeff,  i have an old habit of referring to my 70 Shelby generically as a 69 model.   Used to help when dealing with the average guy behind the auto parts counter.

Opps forgot to ask if it is a convertible or sportroof

Lets try this

Found a number of sportroofs equipped like yours with the front coil spring section of the buildsheet marked GLDGRY = 1 Gold 1 Gray


Didnt' find a matching convertible but in four speed cars equipped the same (for Shelbys) both body styles got the same front springs

Thanks Jeff.    1 Gold and 1 grey (aka 1Q) is indeed confirmed by MPC section 53 that Jim steered me toward.
