I know they are different part#, but are they directly interchangeable? Leaf spring setup.

Coil springs are the same for 67-72. Only difference I know of is standard, heavy duty, & Big Block.

If you are talking leafs for a 4WD, that I do not know.

if you're talking 4x4, 69-72 are the same and 67-68 are the same.

I've been told front springs all the way up to 87 fit right in.
