So any rear suspension 'kit' for a '63-'73 will not be an exact bolt in. I'm not sure if a kit for a '73-'87 would be a better fit or not. Some measuring would be necessary.
Thanks for the suggestions Captainfab! I may try an inexpensive option first and use a flip kit for a 73-87 c30 first.
And actually that 4 link I was looking at will fit all the way to the end of the squarebody so it would probably be the same.
