This is a pic of where the upper clam shell mount for the fibreglass spring should sit. It's gone. Rusted away. I'm starting an online search for a replacement but initial inquiries look grim.
This is after I found and purchased a steel spring set to replace the fibreglass ones that uses the front clam shells. Captain's side is already done. I found this when moving to the drinker's side. Ugh

Is that something I could find in a FL junkyard for you?
Wow, that really messed with my dyslexia!

Appears to be well and accurately named though!

Probably? I think late 80s to about 94
95 is the oldest in the yards right now.
Sorry to hear that. Gary's U-Pull it in Binghamton NY https://garysupullit.com/, has 4 of them. '95-2005. I don't know if they ship or not. Looks to be an 8 hour round trip for you.
95 and newer is the gen 2 steel leaf spring suspension. I'd end up with a whole bunch of parts I don't need or can't use. I'm exploring making my own. Bend some metal, melt some metal, grind some metal, add paint, done.
