You might be able to find the strut spring by taking a strut in to Napa and see if any of those in the link are a close enough match to the old width. Expect most modern springs may be a lot smaller but possibly not. Strength is probably not too critical as I think they way the struts notch into the shoes the spring is mostly for vibration control so exact length not as important. Amazon also has a couple of Raybestos offerings that look more like the originals but didn't see any detailed info on size with those. Maybe info is available on a Raybestos site.
On the eccentric spring maybe the same can be found at Napa or possibly even a generic spring at the hardware store. Most of the generic types are sold by wire diameter along with overall length and coil diameter. Unless the ends are really shaped odd you might be able to get something close. That one is probably not all that critical either as I think it just keeps the shoe in constant contact with the eccentric.
