Just passing on what was passed to me by T-Man yesterday....
http://www.eatonsprings.com/restoration.htm. If Eaton can't do it, no one can. I also like the fact that they will modify the springs to your request.

I bought a set of Eatons for a '67 442 a couple of years ago because I was told they were dead right and the Moog replacements weren't. When they came in the diameter of the steel itself was considerably smaller than the originals, and there were a couple more coils. I called their tech department and got a guy that seemed fairly unconcerned with originality who insisted that they were the right ones for the 442, and that I should run them and would never know the difference. I did end up installing them since the originals were saggin'. I guess the car sits about right, but I still think a spring of the same diminension as original would be more in keeping with an old muscle car suspension if I could find 'em somewhere.

I got my fronts from TRW (CS5450) and the rears from Eaton.
