At the risk of asking a dumb question, does anyone know if stock overload springs are available for 1977 d100? Mine were roached and all I have been able to locate are aftermarket/hellwig type. I want to keep the truck stock, or as close to it as I can. I presume the stock/overload configuration wasn't common? These were mounted on top of the leaf springs as opposed to under (short type) which is all I have been able to find. See pics.

My mistake then. I still can't seem to find anything that will fit to replace the original springs.
 
Have you tried any spring shops? They may have something not advertised. But you will have to take deminsions with when shopping.
If you really need extra load capacity. Air bags maybe a better choice anyway.
 
That will be my next stop. Don't necessarily need them for carrying heavy loads as much as trying to keep it original. The truck is a survivor, only 50k and pristine inside. Nothing special about it except it is a time capsule. Thank you!
