Leaf Springs, Question
I got a 39 Chevy Sedan an I bought C. E. rear leaf springs. I don't see no way to make the springs parallel front to back without
the bracket hanging off at least 1 1/2 '' per side. Is this normal or do I have another problem. Do they have to be parallel front to rear.

Leaf springs do not have to be parallel to each other. A lot of vehicles come from the factory that way.
The frame I am working on now is a 48 chev trk & the frame is wider at the rear spring hanger than the front hanger.
Good luck !Don Meyer, PhD-Mech Engr(48 GMC Trk/chopped/cab extended/caddy fins & a GM converted Rolls Royce Silver Shadow).
