Default Front leaf springs

I need front springs for a '63 GMC 4x4 3/4 ton pickup. I posted in the wanted section for a used set. Is there a supplier of new parts that anyone can recommend?

I replaced the front springs on my 61 3/4 ton 4x4 because they had a pretty good negative arch. Mutual Wheel co. had a pair in stock that were real dusty. Probably been against the wall for decades. The new ones looked real good in the bed of the truck but when I put them on, they went right into the same negative arch. I gained nothing but i learned a lesson about those front springs the hard way.

Try McVeighs Truck Springs in Michigan.

The guy to talk to is Tom. He's been there forever, and knew exactly what I needed when I called because he used to work on the older stuff before it became the older stuff.

I was able to buy two front springs shipped to my door for less that what LMC asks for them.

They're made in Pennsylvania. USA product, which I am a fan of.
