Hi all, I have a 1960 c10, which previous owner has lowered and i am going to bring back up to stock. Several catologs/sources supply 1963-72 springs, others say 1960-1972 as same part number, I am wonderign why/if there is a differance? Just slightly different height? completly different mountign ?
Thanks for any insight... jamie

There was a different frame used on the 60-62 models versus the 63-66. The rear ends were different between the two models also, as were the shock mounting location, spring locations and the trailing arms mounting locations. In the research Ive done, the rear springs from 60-72 are interchangeable. The front end of the 60-62 used torsion bars, so no springs there.
