I have a Posie's front spring on my '38 Deluxe and it rides rough. I'm looking to buy a stock spring and have found one out of a '47. They both are 2" wide and 40" eye-to-eye. Is there a reason that the '47 spring won't interchange with the '38?

The axle widths are different. Here is a link to a chart http://www.carnut.com/specs/beam.html Tom

What angle are your shackles?? They should be 45 degree so the spring can stretch

Thanks for the information. I will buy a reversed eye main leaf for the '38 to install in the '47 spring. Then I will be sure of the correct length. I know I will have to alter the length of a couple of the leafs.

Why don't you just buy a 37-40 front spring? Try Mike Dennis, he has some spring and if he doesn't have it may give you a source. https://www.facebook.com/Mike-Dennis-FordOldPartcom-157436537609714/ Tom
