Default C4 Rear in my C3 w/ front end question

Will the rearend of a c4 bolt in to my 74 frame? ( The reason for this question is my trailing arms are shot, the complete rear needs a rebuild. I can get the parts cheaper from a donorC4 than an older C3. ) Is there a kit for such an application? Also who makes a front end kit to more modern A-Armless front end? I believe its a leaf spring type front end. Thanks. I'am new to forum and getting ready to frame off restore my 74 T-top 4 speed. will be picking a lot of members brains for help. Happy holidays to all.

I don't think you are going to be able to even come close to getting a C6 rear into your C3. The C6 uses a monotube type drivetrain that runs the length of the car. A C5? Not sure about that one.
What is it that you are trying to achieve here? A simple rear gear ratio change using your stock rear should give you most any results you like.
