1964 Leaf Springs
I'm going to need to replace the rear leafs in my '64 F100, they're sagging a bit. Anyone have a recommended supplier?
Number Dummy, can you provide a P/N and know of any???
Thanks all, Pat
Forgot to add but yep it's 2 wheel drive...

Shipping costs is the problem with these beasts. And, "you get what you pay for"; if there is a local big truck shop nearby they can make a set of springs for you and save some money. You'll want new shackles and bushings + hardware, U-bolts &c. I ran around online scaring up part numbers and buying them in onesies and twosies for my '64 but there are vendors that sell the hardware in complete kits. Oops. That's the way to go. Chucks Trucks iirc, has them.

https://www.alcanspring.com - excellent customer service, will build springs based on OEM part number and also custom if or as needed. They built me a set of progressive leafs for my 4x4 and I could be happier with the results.
Altho, I suspect you meant "couldn't be happier..." Lol.
Cheers!

Pat,
When I lived in Toledo, back before companies like Hotchkiss and Global West made upgrade parts, Toledo Spring could make custom springs to "jack up" our hotrods(lowering them came much later). I don't know if they still do but the company is still in business. You could give them a try. They specialize in big trucks but you never know what they can make.

I'll be going back there at the end of the year to visit family. If by some chance they can help you I could bring them back and save you shipping.
