When I needed coil springs for my '69 f100 I went to the local spring shop. Actually I needed springs for a 2" lift but they had stock springs available. I would try there first.

I got a set at NAPA for $62.00 about 2 years ago, I'm sure they've gone up a bit since then....

You want to get the correct front springs by load rates. Springs for F350's are not the same as F100/250's used, despite what some of these aftermarket parts dealers tell you.

There are at least 5 load rates.

Look at your present front springs, are there any visible color bands?

If so, post the colors here.

I can prolly find you the correct front springs on Monday.

I can look 'em up, too. I have the same parts catalogs your dealer does.

Type the part numbers they gave you.

I found no listing for my '70 F350 DRW. A friend of mine found an old spring guy who had an out of print catalog. It called for moog cc828 springs. They are a variable rate spring and fit fine. I bought them from my local parts guy for about $120. The truck seems to ride nice and handle plenty of weight.
