67 k10 4x4 rear springs

I have a 1967 short bed k10 4x4 and would like to replace the original rear springs. The previous owner put a 2.5" lift but it only added a block for the rear. Does any of the manufactures make these odd size springs anymore? Or is there a hanger substitute that will allow for the use of the more common spring sizes that I can retrofit to work? I tried doing a search and it only came up with 1972 trucks. Thanks for any help.

I don't know of any parts catalog inventory that covers the '67 - '68 K/10s.
I was considering something similar for my '67 K/10 Suburban, and was directed to Arizona Spring on Grant Road in Tucson. They said they could heat and recurve my '67 springs to factory new tension. They can also fab custom add-a-leaves. They are still there in Tucson. Give them a call.
