Check local junk yards if any are close by or try Moore's in South Dakota.

Here is my temporary solution with my 50 Dodge. The hinges will hold the hood up but not enough that I will stick my head under the hood without the backup.

Seriously it would be nice to find new springs that didn't let the hood sag so badly.

There are no good solutions. When I was looking I found a guy in Canada who rebuilds them, but the cost was around $200. I beat the bushes and lucked out finding two nos hinges for my 50 Suburban. Barring that a hood prop is a good idea. I installed one on mine just for safety sake, nothing worse than the hood coming down hard on your noggin or your new painted fenders. I have also noticed over the years that junkers sometimes have good hinges. If the car was wrecked early on or not used a great deal sometimes the hinges are still pretty strong.
