Spring perches

Anybody know if the spring perches are the same on the coils and leaf rear ends? Am thinking about swapping out my rear of my 67 C-20 for a newer one so I can change the ratio, at first glance it looks like they may be inter-changable. Could it be so easy? Or will I have weld on new perches and brackets....

Re: Spring perches

No spring perches on coil spring rear ends are at an angle for the swing arms to meet and the ones on leaf spring are straight to meet the leafs.

Re: Spring perches

You can weld on your own to fit the swing arms.
