Another Leaf spring question

Does anyone know if the Top spring on the rear of a 83 Chev 2WD 1/2ton is the same as a 77 GMC 4WD 1/2ton?

Both are 52".

Re: Another Leaf spring question

Thanks for the reply.
I took the springs out of the 2wd today, 5 leafs.
The 4x4 springs had 7 leafs.(2 were add-a-leafs to give 4" lift along with blocks)
I sat them next to each other and the 2wd springs sat 2"s higher!

So now I have a set of rear springs that are like new for my Royal Sierra.

Thanks again!
