MyD 67 GM is bouncing a whole lot more than I'm comfortable with. Do coil springs fatique with time and loose there strength? What kind of coil springs should I look for if I replace them. The truck is a heavy half ton with the overleaf springs in the rear.

Generally it is tired/blown shocks that result in bouncing - I would start there.

springs don't become bouncy, they're always bouncy ... replace your shocks.
