I want to say "yes"

I'll know for sure when I replace the ones on Fiona when she gets back from paint

Front 13.5/8, back -18 1/4 measured from a 79', would think they are the same.

Jay if your springs are yellow most likely they are after market

@Daniel probably

I purchased them from someone on the forum. Will do side by side comparison when I get Fiona back
