'50 1-ton Project

So I'm a collision painter by trade, but I'm having fun learning/doing some fab/mechanical work on my '50 3800 1 ton. This is what I've done so far:
-swapped the 235 for a 292
-shortened the truck from lwb to swb (z cut the frame and welded back up)
-12 volt conversion
-installed under bed gas tank

I bought the truck to play with and as a learning project and it's been a lot of fun. I need some advice for my suspension. I dont want to go crazy with it, but I want to have it sit a little lower. I'd prefer to just get new leaf springs, but I dont know who sells lowered leaf springs for the 1 tons. Any thoughts?
