Concerning the front springs, did the WC 3/4 command car use a split main leaf? If so, the information on this unique spring was discussed a few years ago on the Power Wagon Advertiser web site. I ended up sending my original spring pack to Eaton Spring in Detroit since they did not have that blueprint in their library. They remanufactured the spring to exact specifications. Twelve years later they are still holding up beautifully. You might want to check with Eaton to see if they still have the information in their database to replicate the spring. I was very pleased with the finished product. VPW very likely has the correct spring as well, but at the time I needed them, they did not stock them.
