Looking for a site or distributor that sales leaf springs for a 1964 Dodge Dart convertible. Also looking for a good source for parts for same vehicle.

ESPO, General Spring are two that come to mind.

I use General Spring. As for other parts for your car, some items are made of unobtainium, so, NOS or used is all you will find. Layson's is one good source for some parts, Detroit Muscle, Dante's, and Rock Auto are a few others to try.

Call Laura at ESPO Springs and Things. She is SUPER knowledgable. She knew that our '63 Dart springs were unicorns (small front eyelet compared to '64 and up) and we ordered 6 leaf with the '63 only small bolt/bushing for our convertible. Fit and work perfectly. Plus they were WAY cheaper than anywhere else. I had to clarify the price was for a PAIR and not for one.

Thats a good point to remember if my recollection is correct there were 3 different spring eye bolt sizes thru the years, but the springs themselves are the same as far as interchangeability just the bushing changed.

Yes, if you're getting used springs, get the front hanger bracket too. Otherwise, going from a small bushing to a large one, just drill out the bracket and use a larger diameter grade 8 bolt.
