Hello, Don.

Do you know what your springs weigh? I found a reference to 1966 Mustang leaf springs where they said: “I just weighed a stock leaf spring, 33.2 pounds.”

Has anyone researched fiberglass leaf springs in regards to their weight reduction, cost, and availability for early Falcons?

Dennis I did not even know they made fiberglass leafs !! I'm not worried about about weight. Just building a nice cruiser. I think I stick with steel

I bought the three leaf. My old ones were quite worn out and the back was sagging a lot, and these did bring it back to where it should be. Shipping will be about $65, and of course no tax. i recall that I didn't find them for less total locally, but that doesn't mean that you won't-especially if you have more time to look.

I was looking at General. Did you get 3 or 4 leaf ? I was also thinking of getting them from local spring dealer and maybe save on shipping.
