Can anyone tell me the cheapest place to order a set of rear leaf springs for a 38 buisness coupe? I found a set for $495.00 not sure if that is high or not. Thanks

Do you have springs at all? If so about any spring and axle company can match them with new springs. Here are the specs.

I just had a set of front springs made up for my 38 here in Aus. I had a copy of the specs which I emailed to the manufacturer.
There is probably a similar foundry near you.

I had a set made by St. Louis Spring a couple years ago for about 125 for the pair came with front bushing and fit perfect they needed no specs. nice work.
