My '37 sedan has the same frame. Here are a few pics of it:
For many years I ran with early sixties Ford Galaxie springs and mounts. (they were 1.75" wide and don't remember the length). They rode fine but I wanted to go a little lower.
Picked up a set of 2.5" springs from a guy off craigslist. They came off his '40 chassis from SAC Hotrods and he decided to go with a mono leaf spring. They were new and cheap and made for a 35-40 chassis. Then I bought a Chassis Engineering mounting kit that mounts the rear shackle thru the frame and sway bar to attach my '57 Ford 9".

I sure hope the forum can stay up longer each day and hopefully many of the old members will return.
Where is everybody?
