That defiantly does not look right. I look like a piece of 2" sch 80 square tube to me maybe even a cut off from a receiver hitch (with the hole in it). Plus if I'm seeing the pic right its welded to the spring perch. The block on my W350 measures 6 1/4" from the perch on the rear to the bottom of the leaf pack.

I would have to say that maybe the previous owner lowered the back or he had the rear springs re-arched and with the factory blocks it was to high so he put in the "home made" blocks.

those are huge!! anyone have a distance between spring to frame rail?
i do know that the truck has newer front springs from stanley springs. tried to email them but they never got back to me

70's thru 93 cab/chassis trucks had 6" block as pictured directly above (dually) 4 wd
70's thru 1991 W150-350 pickups had 3" block 4wd (That's why the front was higher than rear)
1992-3 W250, 350 had same 6" block as above photo. 4wd
( gives the trucks that rake effect)
Can't speak for the 2 wheelers but I believe no block.
The blocks are left and right sided as there is a slight degree of angle for pinion to t-case line up.
Good luck finding them, no aftermarket in 6", if that's what you need, only lift kits with add a blocks which are about as wrong as it gets. None available anymore from dealers, that I found.

Well then, measure the distance between the perch that the block is on top of and the bottom of the lowest leaf spring and find a block that is about that height. Or better yet, change out your springs for a pair that will still give the truck the same ride height and eliminate the blocks completely, or lower the back hangers.
