Numerous folks have bought springs from Eaton-Detroit. They don't list all the springs they can make, they probably have the blueprints. Might make sense to give them a call. For example:

Post - Rear Leaf Springs, Eaton-Detroit

For what it's worth, Kanter lists reproduction leaf springs back to 1930 for $630.

Contacted Kanter this morning. Nice younger gent there told me they don't stock any springs for the older cars, they have them made to order by a company (I would suspect Eaton). He took all my info and info on the car, said he would check with them on what it would cost to have a set of springs made and get back with me.

He did say, not unexpectedly, that it wouldn't be cheap though, and asked if I'd tried hunting for a used original set on the web. So... we shall see what develops. Again, thanks to all.

Good afternoon...We had a set made by Eaton for our 1949 Deluxe...Delivered on our front porch...about $800 all in. Ernie in Arizona
