Leaf Spring replacement with . . .

What can I substitute in? is it 68-73 the usual year range that has a good supply of parts that will kinda fit?

Check with Posie's Rod and Custom. They make their own springs there in Hummelstown, PA near Hershey. I bought a set of Dual Flex for the front and Super Sliders for the rear. These guys were very helpful. The picture below is after only the front springs were replaced. Dual Flex lowered the front end 2-3".

Sam, which springs are you trying to replace? With different leafs, switch to coils?

sorry, my head is floating from cold meds. When i pulled my rear leaf spring assembly i found a single leaf broken, so i was wondering if any earlier years would fit. like the 68-73 axles line up, would the springs also fix?
