Hey guys quick question. I'm thinking about getting Bowtie's old springs off of his chevelle to raise the rear of my elky some, but I was wondering, will springs off of a 72 fit a 65? Thanks, hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!

Might have to get creative with the spring perch/mounts, but they will work.

It's not a throw in swap. The bottom of the springs are the same diameter and the '65 hold down cup will fit. The top of a '65 spring is full width and the '72 spring is small, like the bottom. The spring won't sit in the recessed area of the frame.
