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.
