New member with question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

As a new member I spent a lot of time looking over this forum. It looks like I'm in the right place judging by the wealth of knowledge and friendliness here.

The question that I have is about the '63 GMC 1000 short bed step side that I'm working on. The 305 V6 that was in it needed major work so I replaced it with a 350 SBC. With the 350 in place the front of the GMC sits noticeably higher. Those V6 GMCs are heavy engines. Are the C-10 front springs rate any less than the GMC springs and can the C-10 springs be used in place of the GMC springs? I really would like to bring the front end back down a bit.
