Does the 34 rear spring have what I call "BENDS" in it to locate it into the crossmember???

I believe you will find that the 34 rear spring has both the usual bow as well as an arc to mount it not directly over the axel mounts. Al K.

33 and 34 have a curve to match crossmember, I had new ones made from Eaton, very exspensive because of the bend. Ken

It's no different in that respect than a '32 rear spring. All but early '34 springs had square spring leaf ends, unlike the three-sided taper of the '32, '33, and early '34 springs. The number and thickness of individual rear spring leaves varied by model year and body type.
