Is it open knuckles, disk brakes, etc? You can snap a pic of the diff cover and compare w/ pics on the internet to figure out what it is.
My guess is the rear is stock w/ block lift and helper springs. Are the shocks staggered or on the same side? Id use the technique above to figure out what the rear diff is.
Pretty sure you can look at the body mounts to tell if the frame was swapped.
For spring specs, start w/ leaf width, length (centers), and diameter of bushings.

Here is a pic of the front pumpkin.
I probably misidentified as a GM 10 Bolt.
The rear has not only a lift block, but also a large piece of metal that looks like it came off a railroad tie or something.
The rear shocks are both on the same side of the axle, turned inward at the top where they mount to the frame.
