None availible for that year, most of what's on the market are for '68 and later, exept for Jeeps. Most likely, you'll either have to find a shop to fabricate it for you or fab your own.

Option #2- Measure your springs, find other make/ model with same size springs and install.

I had springs made for my 52 1 ton with different ride height.
I used Eaton Detroit spring, they are very knowledgeable and helpfully. I would use them again over any other spring shop I have seen or know of. They even have the factory blueprints for most all original leaf springs, including our 1 ton trucks.
