I've delt with Snyder's for a while and they mostly cater to the Model T and Model A folks and that is how their catalog is set up. They don't have a catalog for the later vehicles but they do still make spring units for quite a few models including the 1935 to 41 trucks & commrcials.

The person handling the situation may have judged your needs incorrectly. They do have an on-line catalog for the springs and I believe you can order that way.

If a person had the tool to crimp the special clips that hold a spring unit together, the wire & coil springs are available for a person to make there own but the crimp tooling is not cheep.

I don't know about Ford trucks but many trucks in the late 30s & 40s had either brown or a gray color of simulated leather as well as black.
