Default Spring replacement

Notwithstanding damage, pitting etc., I'm looking for direction/opinions on replacing the leaf spring, coils springs, and sway bar on a '64.

You can restore the rear spring and sway bar - I would go that way. Repros are pot luck.

Try a search on spring I know I posted preety good directions to a simular post not long ago. I also agree with the previous post if your ride height is good don't replace the spring rebuild it with new liners.
