Longhorn Leaf Springs

PO had 2 of the 8 leafs pulled from each side of the truck when it was new due to an overly stiff ride. I am trying to replace them so I can haul a camper. I looked in the '68 GM Chassis Manual and could not find a C20 configuration, other than the coil set-up. I am now comparing my '68 to my '72 Longhorn which has only 7 springs per side but has the double stack with one spring on top, a spacer and some upper, frame mounted, spring stops. This is confusing. Anyone got a clue?

#1 - original springs removed from '68
#2 - '68 springs in truck
#3 - '72 springs
#4 - '72 springs
