Leaf spring sizes

Are leaf springs on a LWB the same size as the ones found on SWB trucks?
I need to replace my leafs on my 68 GMC SWB truck and found some from a LWB from a member on this site. I would rather buy from a memeber if I can.

Re: Leaf spring sizes

As long as they are 67-72 leaf springs,... they will be the same.

The 73-87 trucks were available with 2 different length leaf springs.
(52" and 56")

Re: Leaf spring sizes

Was doing some searching and found this post; So if you can get the 52 inch leafs from a 73-87 they will fit a first gen?

The reason I ask is I have a 72 blazer and found a set of front and rear Tough Country 3 inch lift leaf springs that came off a 73-87 and was wondering if they would work for my 72? Ad said the rear leafs were 52 inches.
