I have leaf springs on my 1/2 ton Chevy 71 and it is rare . Leaf springs on GMC is not that rare though. and I bet they would fit right up on the Chevy.

If you do find a pair of used ones ,,they may be not so good as mine were sagging quite a bit and therefore I chose to just take them off and buy new.

I had mine made with a couple inch arced drop and after installing found that 2 inch was not enough because I measured from my worn out springs and it gave me a false reading ..hope this helps you some.
