This parts group covers the front springs used on the AA-chassis from production start in 1927 through 12/32. There were three production front spring and one service-only front springs.
The AA-5310-A/B spring assemblies were used on AA131 trucks through December 1929. The AA-5310-C/D spring assemblies were used on AA112, AA131 and AA157 trucks starting with all frames released January 1930 through production end in December 1932.
