Yes, My '71 pickup bed trailer has those. They look pretty funky!

My red '69 came with a single leaf helper that bolted on from the rear.

those were pretty common aftermarket pieces from pepboys jcwhitney strauss stores etc back in the day//havent seen any available new in years// the single leaf mounted in back of the axel was a factory option

The ones that mount from the back was factory i believe and i think you can get all the parts for them from LMC.

Has anyone used them to tow with wondering how much will they help?

I'd never seen any of those before. Very cool, thanks for sharing.

I've got a set of those on my truck. I was planning on taking them off when I get started on it just because I'm planning to bag it. I'd be glad to sell them to you cheap if your interested.
