Default Leaf spring question

I have a 1966 ford falcon and was looking for replacement leaf springs. I have heard that mustang springs from the same year will fit. Has anyone tried it or heard anything. Any input would be appreciated

A shop that makes Leaf springs would make you new ones to 66 specs

Salvage yards have "interchange manuals" that could also provide the info. A friendly Ford parts person can also tell you as there is a section in their books that provides interchange info. Problem is that set of books is considered obsolete and many parts people won't take the time to drag them out of storage.
