Re: 1970 rear spring change
There are a lot of post on this and with a 2wd frame like I had, heer is what I did to make my 2wd coil to rear leaf springs using the 2wd frame which is bowed out at the wheelwells. Probably most oem rear spring trucks had a parallel/straight frame at the rear spring perch locations.
If this truck is to remain a 2wd, may not be worth the effort.

Front rear suspension mounts on the c10 frame must be notched 1 1/8" and add a 1/2" plate spacer for rear rear hanger
