69 C20 rear leaf spring question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I’m looking to put new rear leafs on my C20. Will C10 leafs fit. This is the part number CP610-S I was looking at. All the measurements are the same just trying to make sure they will fit. I don’t wanna pay the restocking fee.

if they have the same measurements as what's already there, yes. might take a tape measure and physically measure yours. critical is the spring center pin to front and then to rear measurement, the width, and the spring eye size. or could buy the right spring, they are around

Are you looking to soften the ride with C10 springs?

Make sure the width of the spring is correct. A lot of the trucks had 2-1/4'' wide. Or better yet...just have your existing springs rebuilt by a spring shop. I've always had good luck with doing that. They'll separate them, clean them, re-arch them and put in new bushings. Better yet--you have Deaver Spring not too far from you in Santa Ana.

Thank you!! Yeah I’m looking to soften up the ride a little bit as the truck will not be hauling anything. But if I can have the one I have rebuilt I’m game for that. My spring s now are 2.25 wide and length are 24/28
