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.

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.
