71 k10 rear leaf spring anti-squeak pad?

Hi everyone,

frame up rebuild on a 71 K10. Rear leaf springs on one side had these in-between. i'm assuming to avoid squeaks when the leafs move. where can i get these? and should there be one in-between all leafs?

You could probably refine the search.

Only one per spring pack was used. You probably want factory correct, but the springs don't squeak w/o them.

I would look at new springs on a restoration
Even on a babied truck more then 48 years
There will be a fair amount of sag on the springs

Really evident on trucks that people use lift blocks in the rear
