Re: Front Spring Question
I'm not really sure, but i THINK the eight leaf spring is for 1926-27 T's and the nine leaf is a TT spring.
Hopefully someone who knows for sure will chime in.

Re: Front Spring Question
That is the same as Langs. Still does not list what I got. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Dan.

Re: Front Spring Question
Up until about April 1925 Ford used the standard seven leaf spring. About that time they came out with the new style eight leaf which was used through the end of production, and is one inch lower than the previous seven leaf. Most likely the nine leaf is indeed for a ton truck. Probably the parts book would tell.

Re: Front Spring Question
Checked in the Ford Price List of Parts book, August 5, 1928. 9 leaf front springs are for TT truck, 8 leaf front springs are for 26-27 car, 7 leaf front springs for 09-25 car.
