i a pretty sure that they will, somebody once told me to find some out of a suburban or other reallyheavy vehicles like that, that had big blocks in them.

I put them in my truck. They didn't give the height I wanted,I was hoping for a level stance and no rake in the front.Better than the stock springs a little more height but a little stiffer too. I have 3/4 ton coils in the rear and the rear sits about an inch and a half higher than the front. You could get those coil spring spacers that sit on top of the coils to get an extra inch or two,Ive seen them in some catalogs but don't know how safe or reliable they would be.

They made 3 different coils. C10, C20, c30 If you have a C10, then the C20 are marked as heavyduty or BB. Ebay currently has a pair for a starting bid of $1.00 not sure if they are what you need.

I put some 3/4 ton springs on my 68 C10 and it did raise the front end about an 1-2 inches. I have 16" tires and have about 4 fingers from the top of the tire to the fender. I decided to get new springs for my 71 C20, but am now having problems get the correct ones. I going for the C30 1 ton springs looking to buy the ones on www.rockauto.com
