   A stagecoach had springs to cushion the ride. Buckboards typically have no   
   springs under the carriage but SOME had springs under the seat instead.   
      
   When all else fails, I resort to looking such things up here:

   Also, you can find a ton of photos by searching Google Images using the word   
   "buckboard."
