Does anyone have a picture of a new(er) set of front leaf spring installed on a 55-59 truck?

I am looking at my truck and trying to figure out what i want to do in regards to the suspension this winter and thought i might install lowering springs. Best i can purchase is 3" lowering in the front.

I wanted to look at a pic to compare to my current set to see how much it is actually going to make a difference. Not sure how much mine have already sagged with age.

If mine have sagged 1" in last 60 years then with the 3" lowering springs i would really only get about 2" drop.
