Howdy,
Wanted to say Hi and ask a couple of questions.
My '71 GMC is 100% original down to the split rim wheels (see avitar). It has rear leaf springs that the glove box sticker lists that as an option. My question is, was that a common option or were coil springs more common on a 3/4 ton?
Second question, would I be a total idiot for putting the 4x4 drivetrain from my Suburban under this truck as oposed to a total restoration?
