So the springs are the same for small block and big block trucks?

I think the BBC only weighs about 100 lbs more than the SBC, so you could get someone to stand on the front bumper and get an idea.

The '63-'67's never came from the factory with big blocks.

I have a set of door stops in the garage-I mean aftermarket springs that are made to drop our truck 2 inches when u install a big block. I forget who they were made by . I bought them on accident I thought they were regular dropped springs-I am gonna put in a sbc-Oh well.

There is a differant part number for the big block spring vs the small block, napa used to have them, the big block springs are 1 inch shorter, higher spring rate, big blocks weigh 150 lbs heavier...
