1967 k20 rear leafs

i was hopping back and forth across my truck installing my under-box gas tank when i heard a "pop" - i knew what it was when i heard it - got to looking and both primary leaf springs are snapped in front of the axle.

the only thing connecting the springs to the axle is the clip that holds the 2 springs together - scary -

I can't for the life of me find direct replacements - every company starts on 69' and up-

i need to know what leaf springs can directly bolt in place of the factory ones

i suppose i could get the mounts and springs from another truck but i was hoping to do it cheap and easy.

any suggestion will be greatly appreciated

Moved to the 4x4 area. Try to find a spring pack the same length and width. Just replace the broken springs. It's not too hard to take the spring packs apart. Or just replace the whole thing. I believe there were only a couple of different sizes used.

I know that if they measure the same they will fit i was hoping to avoid the measuing process since most of the junk yards around here will not let you in their yards.

Be patient some of these guys know the differences in the years. I believe there were just one change.
