Anybody know how many leafs are supposed to be in the rear pack for a 1936 Plymouth/Dodge coupe? Leafs now have 10 pieces.

Sounds about right, my 38 Plymouth had about that many leafs, too. The tin cover was to hold the grease in, you were supposed to grease the leafs every so often, if it's wasn't 105 out I would get in the attic and dig out my FSM for the 38.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
