T-Series TF sagging rear spring.

The right rear spring on the TF sags about an inch over the left one. New TF springs are non existent, you can't even buy new leaves for them. I've been told TD springs, which are available new, are different as they have more arch in them. Anyone have any ideas on this. I thought of having the springs re-arched, but there isn't any shop around here that does that. Because their so scarce, most guys with old TF parts will not part with them. I'm open for suggestions. Please keep in mind, the springs must look period correct. Thanks, PJ

Post the question about re-arching the rear springs on the BBS. I know that there are places around that will do the work, but you may have to send the springs to them. Also check under truck shops, I've heard that they re-arch springs.
Cheers,

Yes I'm going to have to do that Dave. There was a place around Camden New Jersey called "Triangle Spring", not to far from my sons business. I'll try to make a connection through him. I know that they used to make and repair all kinds of springs for cars and trucks. Hopefully their still in business. PJ
