I need some overload springs like those.

Junk has a set of stock '77 FJ45 springs with overloads like that if you're interested in them...

Shipping would be more than I'd pay. And I don't think '77 springs would fit on my '65. But thanks, I can just get some overloads made here at a local spring shop.

I don't exactly know how much, I haven't wanted to depress myself, but I have an idea.

I guess I could say I've been waiting since December. I really didn't care when I was driving it around. I've owned it for 2 years, it was my main transportation.

Those springs aren't the smoothest, unless you put about a ton in the back.
