1947 3600 Leaf Spring Install Help

I am trying to put the leaf springs back onto the frame. I cannot find the photos I took when I removed them, so I have a few questions.

Rear Leaf Springs:
(1) The rear mount - which side does the spacer go on - frame side or outside?
(2) There are three leaf spring clamps on each stack - 2 on one end, one on the other. Which way is to the rear of the frame?
(3) Are there any spacers or neoprene bushings that go beside the front loop of the rear springs in the mount?
(4) Are there any neoprene bushings on the rear loop?

These are stock 3600 springs.

Photos would be helpful, but any info would be appreciated!

1 The spacer goes to the outside.

2 The clamps, 2 on the rear, one on the front.

3&4 They just use pressedin bronze bushings.

Thanks!

One more question - are there any spacers for the front mount (on the rear leaf springs)?
