Trying to order the right leafs for my 1970 C20 Longhorn. Can any one tell me the measurements from the front and rear eye's to the center. I believe they should both be 26" but would like to confirm before i order the springs. Thanks to any one that can answer this for me

Well I do not have a long horn but I do have a '69 C20, and eye to eye on the spring is 49 inches. I do not believe that the long horn had different springs just a longer bed.

Yea, IIRC(its been a while), the longhorns do have a 2 1/2 " wide by 52 " long spring. The longhorns are different than the other leaf trucks, as they use the same frame as a cab/chassis truck, but do not have the dually rear wheels. crazy AL
