The Ford Barn

Currently building a front end to go under my car and needing some direction as to the correct number and style of leaves used on an original 32. I have three different spring pack from under 32's and none of them are the same other than the main leaf. One has 14 leaves, one has 10 and the other has 8. Each has a mixture of square cut leaves and taper cut.

Any explanations or good pictures of an original front spring would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Don

Most of the front springs are 12 leaf, except very early (10). They have three sided clipped, tapered ends (not the square cut). The longest 4 leafs are #5 gauge and the remainder are #7 gauge. The top, shortest, leaf is only 1 5/8" W. The Early Ford V8 Club sells the 32 restoration book that covers just about any question. Great book!
