I bought a set for my 74 w300, they got them to the east coast during Christmas in 2 days. Fit was great, its a one ton, couldn't flex them at all. I don't know about the car stuff, but very happy with the truck springs.

They showed up in a reasonable amount of time. They were five leaf springs, the originals were/are four leaf. There was a fitment problem so I removed the lowest leaf, it only measures about 15 inches +/-. Everything fit fine after that. I've got the whole thing back together yesterday and need to get it on our drive on ramp lift to do the final torque of the pivot and shackle bolts. The tech manual states in bold print, "do not tighten." The book tells you to torque the pivot bolt and shackles with the full weight of the vehicle on the ground. No problem, we have an old style ramp lift that will work fine. I'm going to try to get that done tomorrow. BTW, I did find a company in PA named Stengel Bros Springs that sells it all. I ordered U-bolts to order and they had them to me in two days. Not bad. Perfect fit and better quality than the local NAPA stuff according to the parts manager and techs. They cost about $3 more TOTAL than the what NAPA wanted for theirs and that included UPS shipping. Here's their site:
