Re: 34 Front Spring Leaves
By squared off what do you mean. 12 leaves seems right for a sedan as roadster is 10 or 11 for the rear depending on the year. 32 and 33 have tapered(three sided is a better description) leaves but cut straight rather that curved.

Re: 34 Front Spring Leaves
12 leaf spring, 33 to early 34 should have three sided ends, the leafs do not change thickness at the ends. Later, January, 34 have the ends of the leafs squared off. each leaf is about one inch shorter on each side so look for an additional leaf. Try the 13 leaf on for fit and stance.

Re: 34 Front Spring Leaves
It's 12 leaves for front springs for all '33-'34 passenger cars and commercial vehicles (with 112" wheelbase). It's the rear spring where the number of leaves varies by body type.

Re: 34 Front Spring Leaves
I checked the Spring again , all the leaves are straight cut at the ends and being about one inch shorter thru the length, they are not tapered, and a total of 13 leaves, thanks for your input I will go with this spring .

Re: 34 Front Spring Leaves
It will be interesting to hear if your U-bolts accommodate a 13-leaf spring.
