Rock auto lists a spring - https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...t=7544&jsn=608

Are your springs missing? You can usually get what you have redone at a spring shop near you.

Here's another alternative. They don't list 1968, but I have called them before and they are very helpful.

Im not sure about 2wd trucks but before I found a rear set for my 68 GMC K1500 I was looking at Spring 22-1009
The application is 1991-2002 Chevy and GMC C3500HD
You won't find the 3.25" tapered springs if that is what you are looking for but these springs should physically fit. I'm guessing you can remove leaves to tailor the spring to your needs.

They are 56" long with the pin in the middle
