Default '33 Spring Shacle Bolt

Where can I buy good quality original style rear spring shackle bolts for my '33 Ford? I understand from Michael at Early Ford Store in CA, that that the front is smaller than the rear. The mechanic observes that they appear to be the same size. Can anyone help clarify?

Thank youuuu

The spring eye diameters are the same front and rear, but the shackle studs are shorter for the front spring reflecting its lesser width. The same goes for the spring perches front versus rear, but both the front and rear perch shackle studs are smaller in diameter (7/8" for the spring eye shackle studs and 3/4" for the perch shackle studs).
