Bob Drake has those springs or at least they did a few years ago. Mine needs them to.

What type of 289 do you have 5 or six bolt? How is it mounted, with a crossmember or Hurst type mounts off the heads? Do you know what type of transmission it has? C-4 C-6 or 5 bolt Cruisomatic AKA the Green Dot Dual Range C-4?
The reason I ask is if your truck has some of those parts you are well on your way to a early - mid 60s hot rod truck

Mine has the Hurst style mounts an adapter for the original 3 speed to a 6 bolt 302.

Here's my 50

Welcome! It is good to see someone else with a fatfender from Michigan. Since you did such a great job of figuring out how to add pictures (good ones too) you might want to add your location information through the UserCP link (top left just above). Also add you model and year and power train combination to your signature block. It helps everyone if you ever post a question. And if you are ever over on the eastern side of the state let me know.

The previous owner did mention the gas tank needed to be cleaned
That usually means "needs replacing". You may get lucky it is worth a shot but +- 250 bucks is money well spent on a brand new tank.
