I knew they were leaf, and a big I-beam.. and as Greg's pointed out, 
they used bigger wheel openings.. I did get a little while to look over 
Comer's 500 last summer after RMIHR.

What I meant was.. did they use the "4x4" short leaves, or the pre-74 
2wd longer leaves?

'course, it may have been an entirely different frame that IH never 
thought of converting to IFS and coils anyhow.. :D
