I believe ALL early Fords had a "straight" spring EXCEPT the 32-34 rear spring. Lots of variation in length, width, taper, end configuration, eye diameter and number of leaves though.

I have installed 35-48 type straight springs in 32 rear X-members.
Just grind edges to fit

Here's how I did it. You want to get the ground edges all nice and smooth and shiny to take out any scratches that could be the start of a fracture point.
