Front Leaf Spring replacement
 

Hi Folks, i have been on a bit of a hiatus and i am just starting to get back into working on the old 53 F250. I noticed I have a slight lean to the drivers side. I checked the springs and it looks like i have a couple of broken leaf's on the drivers side. I was thinking of hitting the local junk yards but i dont know what year if any would be a direct fit. Does anyone have a parts break down and maybe some part numbers for bushings, bolts, u bolts? I live in Canada so if i can get something at Napa i could save a ton in shipping and tariffs lol. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Replacing one side only will sadden you in short time. Rest assured, nearly each and every time, the opposite side will break in short order.

Looks like 1953-56 1/2 & 3/4 ton are the same.

Leaf springs have a life expectancy, they eventually where out. The whole spring assembly should be replaced on both sides. That's the correct way to do it, on the other hand. if that's too much money you can have a spring shop just make you the two broken leaves. At work on the phone company trucks we replaced individual leaves all of the time. When I first got there, they were breaking lleaves on the 2 1/2 ton trucks. We started checking the U-bolts for tightness on every service and the springs stop breaking.
