72 c10 with rear leaf springs question
So my truck was set up with a tow,hauling, package from the dealer so it has leaf springs on the rear. I haven't had any luck finding lowering kits that have what you need for rear leafs for a 72 C10. They list kits for 1973 C10 will that work? I would look under suburban or C20 C30 but the rear end might be different I'm not sure. Any help is appreciated!

Re: 72 c10 with rear leaf springs question
the leaves are skinnier than 73 and up...got mine made by eaton detroit spring...it was years ago ,i think they were about 350 for the pair....you can use later shackles if you tack weld washers inside on the spring end...the end that fits on the chassis bracket is the same

I have a complete rear leaf lowered with axle flip and rear axle. How soon do you need everything? I am wanting to swap to coils. They ride to rough for me. If your not in a hurry.
