Pretty sure that almost any year springs will work (late 60's to early 80's).

Not sure, that's pretty old, but they might. Have you tried to install them?

wouldn't those springs be 'extremely' soft as a) they would have sagged like crazy over a period of 45 years and b) they were designed for a truck with less weight, smaller engines, and different spring rates..

i'd try to buy new springs for your truck from an autoparts place like Kragen (they're about 150 a pair) or get some out of the newest/lowest mileage truck possible in the 73-87 body style..

just my $0.02

I will have a set of front and rear springs for sale in about 1 june. Brand new, right out of the box, stock height. I am buying a rebuild kit and plan on dropping the my truck so I won't need the springs.
