I've got a set off one of my Dart's. Shipping would be from California though. Still, if you'll cover shipping they're yours...
 
Go hit a JY and get the rear springs and shackles from a E150. They are almost the same size (1 in longer?). you can swap around the bushings and drill out the front mount to fit the bigger front bolt.

Interesting.........What year E150? Got any pix of these in an A body?

for everybody's information, in case they read this thread, the E150 springs on an a-body result in a very stiff rear end. We used the E150 spring with all of the leaf's, but we flipped over the short (stiffest) leaf. You do this with a couple (3-4) big c-clamps and a screw driver in the bolt hole. The spring center bolt does not end up in the axle bracket hole, but ends up behind the bracket. You then align the axle/spring on the car with a 25' long tape measure, locating each side of the axle to some common forward point on the car.

This spring setup results in a spring that is about 400-425# /inch rate. We put this on a road race course car, and it works great for us.
