I'm pretty sure it's 2 front and 4 rear. I can check for sure this evening though if nobody else has chimed in by then.

2front and 5 rear including the overload.
I had a couple and they were stock.
I have seen some with 5+overload rear when it came from factory with a towing kit.
Another thing about those years: 73-75, the fronts were tapered leaves both in width and thickness, the center was thick and narrow and the ends where the bushings go wider and slimmer.
I don't know till what year that went on but I know my 84 wasn't like that.
those springs were much nicer riding.
I have yet to see an aftermarket spring made like this.
