Can someone tell me if there is a difference in length between long bed and short bed trailing arms for a 66 - 72 C10. I'm in need of a decent set and do not want to buy something that does not fit. My truck is a short step side bed.

By the way, if someone has a set of trailing arms let me know!

I believe all the trailing arms are the same for a C10. The C20 and C30 appear to have a deeper cross section, or thicker iron and are slightly different than the C10.

Here is a link to a thread that has some discussion about trailing arms. See post #2.
