     SPEEDWAY MOTORS has the cheapest springs at $119 each for better than stock.
Its better to be a has-been, than a never was.

Thanks fellers. Yall forgive me for askin stupid questions. I searched first and didn't find it, so I posted the question. I changed the wording around and then found it searching again. I'm not used to the search function on this site yet. My apologies.

Here's where I'm looking at getting the springs for my 78 Bobcat wagon, they may have some for your runabout...  http://www.generalspringkc.com/
Hope it helps!

I was looking at those too.  Anyone on here used those?  Are they the same as stock?
