Question 69 rear end

I m spinning my gears trying to find out if there is a older truck rear axle that would be say 3/4 ton that used trailing arms and coil springs? I want to put a full floating axle in my 69 c-10. Not sure if i can or not.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

67-72 for sure. I work w/a guy that has a 68 3/4 ton 8-lug w/truck-arms & coils. Not sure what rear ends they had though & if they're worth rebuilding.
