Default Bench Seats for a 1930/31 closed cab pickup

Hi,
I am in the process of finding correct sized bench seat springs.
If someone could provide correct measurements.
Looking for original springs.
Last resort is purchasing reproduction springs.
Trying keep things like it was coming of the production line.
If anyone has a set of springs l would be interested.
Thanks

Roadster seat springs are nowhere near close.I had a set of nice originals for my pickup,but I really didn't like them.They were near perfect,but you have to remember people weighed 130 pounds back then.I gave them to a guy doing a fine point truck,and he bought me a new set of Snyders springs.Truck springs are the hardest to find in good shape because they were the most abused.

Thanks for the input going to purchase new seat springs for the Restoration project.
Snyder’s Ford parts is a great resource the customer service and if you have a question are there with a answer.
Was trying to stay original but like was mentioned these trucks were true American work horses.
A true and trustworthy truck.
