Will caltracs from a 82 c10 fit on a 76 Blazer?

I'm thinking of scrapping my 82 C10 and buying a 76 Blazer($200). It's 4wd, but I was going to convert it to 2wd and lower it. The plan is to make it my new race truck. But I don't know if I can use my Caltracs on it. They are the flip kit version. Are the leafsprings the same between the c10 and the k5 blazer?

No, the leafs on a truck are longer then what's on a blazer, But I am thinking only by 4-5".

Anyone know for sure?

I am pretty sure that they are the same. I know for sure that the fronts are the same....and Skyjacker lists the same part number for the rear on both pick-ups and Blazers (K-10 and K-5)

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
