hello guys I have 1970 wagon that I tow my 1970 wagon race car with. the tow wagon has the old original springs that are starting to go away. I need some new spring and I don't know what spring to get. I've done lot's of google searches and don't know what moog part number to get. What are the cargo control springs like ? thanks for the help

Consider looking for Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser rear springs. The Olds wagons were heavier.
You may consider air bags or air shocks.
I run air shocks. Allows me to tailor the height.

I was using my 69 El Camino to haul stuff a lot and I found a 68-72 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in the wrecking yard and robbed the rear springs from it. They worked great. Plus they were super cheap.
That old El Camino of mine took a real beating. I thrashed on that car. Had it so loaded down the rear bumper was dragging the ground numerous times. I'm surprised the rear axle wasn't broken or bent.

IF I were towing with my '72 Wagon and needed spring advise, I would call Eaton Spring and get their opinion. Afterall, springs are what they do.

I use stock wagon springs from NPD and Gabriel Load Leveler air shocks on my 72.
