Hi all, are the later C1500 rear axle assemblies interchangable with the earlier '76 rear end. Width / spring perches /shock mounts.
Thanks in advance!

What years are you talking about? GMT-400 has a different frame width than 73-87 therefore spring perches are not at the same spot.

88-98 is GMT-400 and they are a different frame width than squarebodies. So different shock mount and different perch width.
