Yep,... some had leaf springs.
ECE sells a drop leaf spring pack with a longer rear shackle.
DJM sells a flip kit.
That's the only two choices.
I'm not sure which shocks you need for these options, though.
Call ECE and they will fix you up.

So would u go with ECE or DJM?? Will longer shackles effect the ride in a bad way??

I would go with ECE.
They have great products and customer service.

You might search the board for lowered leaf spring trucks.
I can't give you any personal experience with lowering a 67-72 truck with rear leafs.
