What year is the truck? If a 1968/72, does it have Flex-O-Matic rear springs?

If there any large truck repair shops nearby they can usually make a set of leaf springs for your truck. Price should be competitive too - shipping charges can be hefty. Eaton Spring out of Detroit was a major supplier for the OEM and has the original blueprints and makes a quality spring.

it’s a 1965, standard springs.
Some yahoo heated the rear side of the springs, about 3 inches from the rear eye, until they bent 90 degrees or so.
Cutting torch lowering kit........

just trying to keep the cost down. Looks like springs are 160 to 230 each, plus 35 bucks shipping per spring!

The junkyards around here don’t have much that is that old.

I got mine from General Spring for $300 for both sides. They even have the bushings already installed. Very quick delivery.
