Default 32 rear Spring or 33/34

Is the 32 through 34 rear spring the same. If not, what is the difference.

There were 9,10, and 11 leaf versions. You need to borrow a green bible.

They interchange . If you look in a 1934 parts book the number of different ones is amazing . Different leaf counts and length of some leaves . I would assume this was to compensate for the weight differences and carrying capacity .

Also it is more accurate to call them 32-33 and 34 . 32-33 have square leaf ends and 34 has tapered ends .

Do a search as this info is already here with pics .

With respect, it's the '34s that have square leaf ends and the '32-'33s which have tapered corners on the ends of the leaves.

In addition, the thickness of the leaves is also a variable between the various types.

See what happens when you don't go look !!! The principal makes you bang erasers after class . Anywayz My Bad as DavidG is right . I posted pics of the different ends here before .

The different thickness-length of secondary leaves in a 1934 parts book is amazing and is how different rates were achieved .
