it's a bit difficult to understand what you're looking for,  ???, but if you're looking for rear axle leaf springs for your car, I got mine from these folks and am very satified.

I have a 1949 parts car. Not sure if they are the same

OK, I see you've added a photo now.  Now it makes sense

My advice is to invest in new springs.  Likely the ones on your 49 arn't much better; remember, they're 63 years old and have been holding the weight of the car all that time.  Labors less and you'll appreciate the ride with properly tempered and height correct springs.

They should be replaced in sets.

Hope this helps, Mike

I agree I would buy new if available.  Didn't know new was an option.
