Spring Clamps?

Does anyone know where I can get some spring clamps online? I took out half my leaf stack and now my clamps dont fit.

You can get them at any local spring shop. Look in the yellow pages under truck repair or springs. They usually have all different sizes.

I have the same situation but just plan to cut the originals shorter and redrill it for the bolt.
Incidentally, I ran a 56 Nailhead in my F-1 for a number of years.

Maybe I'll do that. I live about 5 minutes outside NYC, so there are no springs shops around here that I know of, not too many people off-roading. We have all the corporate chain auto parts places (auto zone. pep boys), so for special stuff I'm outta luck. When I need oil or air fresheners though, I'm all set
Thanks for the replies guys.

I'm currently out of town so my catalogs aren't handy, but I think Mid Fifty carries the clamps.

Dennis Carpenter, Mac's, Sacramento Vintage Ford, etc, etc, etc I think I;ve seent hem in most of the catalogs.
I would whip out thelocal yellow pages and look for spring and suspension, you might be pleasantly suprised. When I ha dmy springs rebuilt locally they replaces the spring clamps.....no problem

Good luck
Bobby
