Here is the exact info you are looking for, Finding a 68/72 coil spring C20 with 350 and automatic in a wrecking yard with a good third member might be a bit of a challenge. In truth the hard part will be finding a good donor.

This is good info that I am saving to my favorites as I see people ask the same question all the time. I'd be looking more at 69/72 potential donors though. GMC is leaf spring and often as not has a Dana 60 as my 71 GMC does.
