I ended up ordering new springs from St. Louis Spring. I ordered them this past Monday, got a call from them on Wednesday saying they were ready to ship, they arrived just an hour or so at my house. Look great, the guys I talked with were very helpful in determining the exact spring for the vehicle. Came with new bushings in the spring eye's, all nicely painted, cant wait to get them in the truck. Maybe I did too much worrying about where to get new springs when I started this post just 8 days ago, but just like that I have new front springs for my 1950 1 ton. Thanks to all of you for your advice and recommendations. Everyone have a safe and healthy weekend. Tom
