Are you talking 4x4's with leaf springs front and rear?

I am not sure about lengths but as far as widths go......

I believe that the fronts are all 3" wide at the frame hangers on each end and 2.5" at the axle.

Rears are where 67&68's are different. They are like the fronts 3/2.5/3. The rears on 69-72's are straight 2.5".

Right now I have both a 1967 and a 1972 chevy k10 frames in my driveway (doing a swap). I imagine if you wanted to be able to find lift kits easier you could use the rear spring and perches from a 69-72 on an older frame. Frame swaps get silly really quick, trust me!
