Lift Kit / year fit question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Gurus-
I'm looking at doing an all spring lift in my '67, but all the kits I find spec the years as 69-72 if you want rear springs instead of blocks. I know there are different length springs, I have 56" rears, and I can find kits with them, but does anyone know of any other differences that would make this year specific and not work on a '67?
Thanks!

Thanks Jack! Missed those, I never seem to have good results when I search through the board for things, but I'm sure it's a case of "the Indian not the arrow" being the problem!
So, seems next decision is either to look at custom springs, find a '69+ frame, or if it's maybe possible to modify my frame with later model or after market spring hangers.
Every time I think I'm making it to the surface, I get sucked back in over my head!
