F1 axle springs, where is the best place to buy new?
 

Howdy Boys, looking for a set of new springs for my '48 F1. Where might be the best place to get them? Thanks!

If there is a spring shop in your area they can probably make up new ones for you or fix your old ones.

Thanks guys, I'll check out Eaton. No spring shops in Eastern Oregon that I know of.

Maybe not in Eastern Oregon but if you can get them to Myrmo & Sons in Eugene. They can re-arch/rebuild your springs to spec or stiffer. I had them do my saggy rear Mustang springs for a 1 inch lift over stock and was very pleased with the job, price, and how my car looked and rode after reinstalling the springs. Eaton is best for new if you decide to get new ones.

what 1952 Henry said Eaton Spring was and now the major supply er for all makes, that probably supply-ed Ford in the first place. they have all the blue prints I bought one for my 46 its exact perfect little pricey (like everything else) but well worth it - give them a call just google Eaton Detroit Spring.. and she is very polite and knows springs all years and makes.....
