Coil overloads on a SWB??

For all you guys who parted out dozens of trucks--------question----did GM ever offer the rear Overload springs for Swb Coil sprung trucks? I have never seen one but am considering installing them on a project I am building. Just curious!

Huck, I just bought shocks yesterday and AUTOZONE offered coilover shocks for the rear. I said no to the $50 price tag for the pair.

I've never parted out a truck... but I had the overload springs on my '68 C10 SWB.

Here's an old pic where you can see part of the springs and the plates that mount on the trailing arms:

I pulled them off now, since I'm doing airbags.
