HELP!!! I am needing some front end parts for my 1967 Eagle

HELP!!! I am needing some front end parts for my 1967 Eagle #7285...
I was told that Ed at Jefferson bus in OK may have the parts so I contacted him about parts & prices. He asked me to E mail him a list of what I needed, so I did: King Pin kit - right side, upper A arm bushings - both sides, break pads - all, Wheel seals - Front, rear & bogie, Torshion bars.

He got back to me with the part #'s & prices for some of the stuff. I tried to look / match up the #'s with my parts book but his #'s are different. It looks as if there are several front end versions. I just want to make sure that I get the right parts fo my bus so I took some pictures under the front end of my bus and E mailed them to him and asked if he could make sure these are the right parts... Have not heard back for a week but re-sent the E mail 2X and called once...

Also, I now know there are NO new torshion springs for my bus... Does anyone know - can my old ones be repaired? Can they be adjusted and still ride OK? My front end is about the right height but one side is a little higher than the other. The rear is low on both sides. Any ideas what to do about that?

Thanks for any advice,
Dan

Do you have any rod sticking out on the rear axle adjustments rods? If so you are lucky.

I'm going to have to add a couple of air bags to give it some help.

Follow Dan's procedure for making any adjustments.
