Ive got a 65 Econoline Panel that im giving the rat rod treatment to. My problem is the leaf springs are shot, rusty and unsprung! Every time I hit the brakes it dives like a foot. I put new shocks but I need new leafs. Does any body make aftermarket springs or do the more popular 40's & 50's truck springs fit? Also what about dropping the front, I see plenty of dropped "duece" axles, would these be simular? Any related info would be cool.

 

-EATON SPRINGS- was the OEM supplier to FORD and can probably duplicate (or custom make) your springs.

Let me know what you find out as it will save me a phone call...
