Biggest problem I'm finding is no one actually makes rear springs for these wagons and front springs are only available from vendors I've never heard of, making me question if they're REALLY correct or not.

I'd love to replace the body bushings, but they aren't easy to come by either (I have to take them all out and measure them then order them...).

I had springs custom made for my '59 wagon. I think it was coilsprings.com that did the job, but I could be wrong since it was about 6-7 years ago. I can dig through my receipts if you're interested.

If I can find body bushings for my '59, your '73 should be cake.
