Have you looked at any of the squares springs?[73-87]. I have a line on a 72 GMC short bed for salvage, It probably has the leafs as it didn't look to be hard loaded just a regular truck. The leafs were standard on the GMC and optional on the Chevrolet. It was just backwards from the Chevrolet that had standard coils with optional leafs. Jim

The two wheel drive 69-72 trucks use 2 1/4" wide springs (except the Longhorn and probably the C30) while the squares use 2 1/2", so that is out.

Eaton-Detroit can build you stock replacement springs or you can get drop springs from places like Early Classic Enterprises. The other option is to find a parts truck with 2 1/4" leafs. C20 leafs will physically fit but have a higher spring rate and different ride height.
