Where can I get them? Just want the cups and plates, not the complete kit.

I checked thier website, but didn't see anything for a 66 except the "build your own" cups. Where are you seeing them?

If your looking for them directly for a 66 your not gonna find them as far as I know, but the already built fullsize cups owkr.
They are under bag brackets and fullsize 67-87 front bag brackets. Those fit the 66 c10

OK. So, I think I'm figuring this out. Sorry, never done bags before and there really isn't much detailed install info on the 60-66 trucks. Correct me if I'm wrong, but do I not need cups or any type of brackets to mount the rear bags in place of the coil springs? Looks like I could just run a bolt up through the control arm and into the threaded boss on the bottom of the bag and then mark and drill the bottom of the frame rail for the two studs and the 3/8" air port to mount the the top of the bag. Anything wrong with this?

Absolutely nothing wrong with that. That is what most people are doing with 67-72's, and as far as I know your trailing arm setup should be similar to the 67-72 setup.

Exactly what I have. Even with a notch though, it won't lay on the ground, but will be about 6 inches off because of the bag and the way it hits the frame. Sorry, with the whole cup thing, I was assuming you ment the front. The back is a lot easier and you should only need to do as you said. I welded a plate onto the lower arm where the spring attaches and drilled a hole so it goes up through the factory hole, but has a mount ontop where the bag sits. Get a good bit, it's a pain in the butt to drill through the frame right there because of the reenforcements for the springs

I am not familiar with your era of truck. Are you replacing coil springs?
