Leaf spring inter-change question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 1968 GMC Leaf Spring truck and want to put the 5 lug leaf spring rear and front cross member from a 1971 GMC leaf spring truck. Disc brake and 5 lug upgrade . Will the 1971 rear leafs bolt right up to the hangers on 1968? Same hanger and bushing width?

It should be fine. The axle width changed, but the frame remained the same. So the mount points would be identical
