I'm about finished disassembling the second '26 - '27 frame; assuming they were originally tourings or roadsters, how many leaves should there be in the front and back springs?

"1926-1927
FRONT: New 8-leaf spring used on all cars.
REAR: 8-leaf spring for all cars except the Sedans that used a 9-leaf, both the same as used in 1925. The 6-leaf was discontinued."
Both these frames, front and rear, have thirteen springs. Did any model in '26 - '27 use thirteen leaves?
Nope,some folks doubled the springs up when using the chassis for a wagon,but I have never seen that many used.
Jack, I wondered about that, too. I believe these two frames were used as farm wagons, plus some of t he leaves are identical in length.
Definitely non-stock.
