Hank,
Ford
never designed or made mono leaf springs for the '52 Pickup. What you
have is someone's idea of a good thing. You are experiencing one of
their faults, bad ride.
Improperly designed mono leafs are inherently faulty and dangerous. See
what we have written about them,
Mono Leaf Spring
Information.
Most
aftermarket mono leaf sprigs are either designed to have an even taper,
which is not necessarily the correct taper, or they are over built which
results in way to strong a spring. A too strong spring not only causes a
rough ride, they also can fail quicker than a correctly made spring.
My advice
is to either replace the mono leaf with a correctly built multi leaf
spring or buy a very large life insurance policy.
