NP205 was a first for 70, I think. My 68 has a rockwell, I can tell the difference by the back cover plate but can't see through that grime.

Springs are pretty straight forward. They are "sprung" like coil springs so no real danger. I'd support the frame, remove U bolts and roll axle out, then drop the springs. Take the springs and have the original bushings pressed out before you get them blasted. They make urethane replacement kits that you can put it yourself.
