Leaf spring swap?

Would leaf springs off of a 67 camaro fit right on a 73 Nova Custom? I have an offer to get them cheap and mine sag like there's no tomorrow. Please help!

I AGREE WITH SSNOVA2004. I HAVE A 69 NOVA AND I'M GETTING READY TO REPLACE THE LEAFSPRING. I'VE BEEN CHECKING AROUND A LOT OF PLACES AND THE BEST DEAL YET IS PERFORMANCE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS IN PHOENIX ARIZONA $190 FOR THE PAIR. HERE IS THE LINK http://www.performancesuspension.com/
WHEN I TALKED TO THEM THEY SAID FOR ANOTHER $75 I COULD GET POLY BUSHINGS AND PADS. THATS A SMOKING DEAL IF YOU ASK ME.

You might want to try your local truck service center. I bought a new set of 5 leaf springs for my Nova from Parts for Trucks for $65 each. I think they custom make them. Anyhow, they were perfect and were pretty cheap too.
