They have the same dimensions but vary in the number of leaves and spring rates.

The one I have has 12 leaves, looks like several have been replaced. Just want to sell it and was not sure if it fit several years. Thanks

If it has tapered ends on the leaves, it was originally '32 to early '34. If the leaf ends are square, it was originally mid-late '34. With twelve leaves it was used on a commercial chassis such as a station wagon and pickup.

I see where you can buy a roll of plastic to cut and fit between each spring to eliminate any squeaking. Just wondering if anyone has done this
