So I got the front springs off today and I have two different springs. The one off the left side is the one on top in the pictures and is from the same side where the knuckle on the axle had taken some severe damage at some point. Coupled with the fact that there is one oddball wheel on the truck, I'm guessing that the truck at some point had taken an impact to the side of the left front wheel, damaging the wheel, knuckle and spring.

Would it be ok to replace the oddball spring with another used one, or is it advisable to replace both with a matching set? I imagine that having a set made from scratch would probably cost a lot more than finding a decent used set. I think that VPW only sells the top leaf in their catalog.

The good thing is, is that once I figure out the spring situation, I can start getting the front end back together, unless there is something else I should check out while the front end is disassembled?
