Rear spring perches

Is the threaded part of the rear spring perches longer on a later rear end than earlier cars? The perch I have measures 1" in length from the mounting surface to the end of the threads, just protruding 1/4" past the backing plate. Both sets I have are this size. May be a dumb question but there it is :D
Thanks
Jerry

I figured it out, had two problems - I was trying to use the wrong nuts (too thick) and the perches I was trying to use were worn down on the thread end, took the pieces off my old rear end and all is well, thanks to all who offered help.
