: I have a tudor chassis which I beleive has a 7 leaf rear spring and a 10 leaf front spring. can I use this setup for a pickup body without changing the springs, and is there anything else that may be different, thanks for any help, jim corliss

Jim, You weren't specific on years. You can fit '29-29 sheet metal and radiator on a 1930 frame, but cannot fit '30-31 sheet metal and radiator on an earlier frame.
The only seven leaf rear spring had an eighth "dummy leaf" at the bottom, just long enough to reach under the spring clip bars (u-bolt bars). This was used only on the roadster and I'm sure some poor guy out there would love to have it if that's whats under your's.
Regards,
Marco
