I'm doing the same thing to my 57 Chevy truck and I bought all of my suspension parts from LMC Trucks. They had everything and shipped it promptly. I looked at a few other sources and prices seemed to be about the same.

I'm not replacing the springs, just all of the bushings and pins. You'll need four spring shackle kits. There's two styles of shackles, one has a bolt through the two sides that holds the sides on the pins, and the other style has nuts on the ends on the pins. The ones I got from LMC have the bolt through the sides. If I were doing it again I would try to find the other style. No particular reason for this other than the ones I removed had the nuts on the pins and looked a little more substantial to me.
It isn't cheap. All of the suspension parts plus a king pin set was about $300 with shipping.
