Location: Springville, CA		Bernbaum advertises them. I got the front coil springs for my '56 Chrysler from Eaton springs, and they also have leaf springs. Good luck.

Location: Blythewood, SC		I had a local spring shop rebuild and rearch my springs for about $150.

I wouldn't buy anything from Bernbaum again. He's a crook.

Location: Los Angeles, CA		I had mine replaced at my local leaf spring and truck repair. The guy who did the work said he found late model truck leaf springs fit many of the 50's era cars, although he wouldn't tell me which year and model he used for my car. Kanter sells them too, but their prices are a bit high.

Location: Twin Falls, Idaho		I just picked up mine from a auto spring rebuilder in Boise. Re-arched and rebuilt for $190, including new bushings installed. I would look for a rebuilder in the Sacramento area.

Location: Williams California		Larry, I too, would recommend finding a shop that will re-arc your springs. Many of the places that sell aftermarket springs fail to mention their Asian origin, and quality can vary. ---John
