    If you go old enough on the fords they are about the same width. I just measured mine and they are 2.25" wide.

    And my current packs have barely any +arch left and the first 10 or inches on the main leaf is just fine.

    I plan to only reuse the 3-leaf aal and the main leaf on my packs, and replace the second leaf with either 1 or 2 long leafs from the ford pack. But there are a million combinations for me from the ford pack, so we'll see what happens.:D

    Thanks man!


    Ya those mofos aren't light!

    I hope to start cleaning them up and painting them this weekend. Might need to pick up a new grinder since I killed mine this weekend, could just be that the brushes froze up and the bush caps have cracked. POS Harbor Freight grinders, lol.
