Is that the one in Cortland, Ohio? If so, I wonder why the nose is sitting up so high in the pictures?

Hello Blake,
        Yeah I noticed that too in the pictures and it reminded of a K20 I saw at a show years ago. The old timer who had it told me they used to elevate the front by putting the leafspring bolts through the next to last leafspring just to add extra height or clearance for the front. I peeked under his machine and sure enough it looked as simple as he said. They must have been on to something, because some time later I seen another scrap late K20 with what looked to be heavy duty original leafsprings that would have definitely raised the front. Any thoughts Blake?

Yeah thats the problem. I told him they were supposed to be down one more but he didn't change it. Oh well it makes it stick out better. It does run good. We have one too so...
