For Vanspeed and his inquiry WANTED for a 10 leaf front spring.
Elsewhere I have a thread which relates to Travis Cook - who USED to be THE SOURCE for a correctly made front spring.
Old springs frequently have "wear" and "set" and may or may not include the original "preload" which on the front is less than the rears, but does exist.
Alas Travis has hung up his track shoes and one has to seek other sources.

The thread earlier: In time and a little gamble, I ended up getting a front spring from Macs - but this before their own more recent "consolidation." (OBTW, the Macs spring was torn down and I found the leaf thicknesses/dimensions to be consistent with the Ford drawing - so there is some chance of it not being yet another "trailer spring" as has been sold by others in the past.)

So that source MAY be there. Most vendors are good about quality of their sold product, but springs are difficult and expensive to ship, and a return on a less than quality product might be a problem.
A query before placing your order might include "does the spring conform to the Ford Drawing?" The seller should be familiar enough to answer in the affirmative before you place your order.
The drawing number is not shown but Brent in 10-uh-C gives us the print at
