1947 half ton rear springs?

Hello again, my 47 needs rear springs badly, one pack a bunch were cracked in half on it. I had disassembled my packs a long time ago when i was messing with ride height on my truck, and well I'm kinda tired of having the rear axle half *** zip tied to the springs to make it a roller so i can move it.

I see mac's sells a 10 pack spring, but i also see it says it fits everything from a half ton to a one ton, is this actually correct? Also is there anybody else that makes springs for these trucks? I'm not exactly the biggest fan of MAC's parts to be quite honest. Thanks.

I just stack and re-stack to make good fronts and rears.I have a lot of leaf springs because I just seem to like messing with them. I know for a fact the tonners use a 2 1/4" wide rear spring as I added a few more to my tonner last weekend. If the 1/2 ton also uses a 2 1/4" wide leaf then they are the same. Tonner could be thicker I guess.

Just got fronts from Eaton for my MH F3. Wasn't interested in cobbling leaves together to still end up with a stack of tired, wore out springs. Rear packs wouldn't be as bad as fronts, since fronts are always loaded.
