Royce P Senior Member Dec 1, 2017 #2 If it has tapered leafs it is 1917 or earlier. Square cut leafs is 1918 or later. They were typically 8 leaf for all but sedans, the sedans used 9 leaf after 1920. They tried 6 leaf rear springs on runabouts for a couple years in 1919 - 20.

Royce P Senior Member Dec 2, 2017 #5 Kinda different rule, the front were all 8 leaf in 26 - 27. Different spring? No. Rear the same as 1922 - 25, ie 8 leaf on all cars except the heavy sedans which got 9. Tim Ayers said: Yep. It's definitely a T, just don't know what year. Were '26/27 different as well?
