Marty,

It could be that the spring eye is wallered out from age and use. Was the steel bushing in there spread out (the side split gaped apart)? Both front and rear eyes (and bushings) should be the same dimension.

Not sure what other springs may have been similar enough to swap over to you truck??? headscratch
