Leaf Spring Help
 
I have what they call a "jungle gym" trailer under my old drag boat that was built in 1959. I found when replacing the bearings they used parts off of a 1947-59 GM truck wheel posts and bearings. The issue I am having is trailer springs are listed by size (and to small) and auto springs are listed by the make and model only. The springs that are on it now are 9 layer leaf springs, double eye that is 36" long and 2" wide. Anyone have an old truck to look under or have a clue what spring is the right one?
Thanks

Maybe time for replacement axle's so you can source parts easier?

Its not to bad to have springs made if you cant find them.

Check locally, I found a place in my neck of the woods that built custom leaf springs. Very reasonably priced too.
