  10 leaf 2 inch leaf springs sound a little light duty to me. Somewhere in my stack of 1940 vintage manual books I remember a schedule of Ford spring part numbers and specifications but of course I can't find it now. My manuals generally indicate 1940 vintage cars and trucks had 11 leaf in front and 12 leaf in rear. Ford also made some 10 leaf auxiliary springs for trucks. Hopefully another forum member has more info.

  The B7 prefix is for a 1957 vehicle, probably a truck as the cars had coil springs in the front. I don't have a chassis parts catalog for the 57s. You might pose your question on the Ford Truck Forum.
