Default 355ish lb rear VB&P fiberglass spring (Ontario)

Looking to change the rear spring on my '78 to FG. 355# or there about.

Prefer Ontario as shipping costs would be higher from elsewhere.
Hardware not required.

Anybody have one laying around they'll part with?

Ive got a 360# "TRW" now, rides great, but would like a lower ride height. Can't achieve the height I want with 8" bolts.

Read on here that the issue of the TRW spring riding high isn't uncommon.

Have OEM replacement shocks now, which I'm confident are not contributing to my ride height.

I have a 360lb VB&P spring that I am replacing with a VB&P dual mount spring.....but that won't be happening until later this year after the driving season is done. If you are still looking then, we can work something out.

Yes, please keep me in mind. I'm in T.O. with some regularity for work. What part of T.O. are you in?

The swap wouldn't be till fall/winter anyway.

How wide is the spring?

Pretty sure a 72 is narrower than a '78. I think a narrow spring can be used in the wider diff mount, but not the other way around.
