Both the 1/2ton trucks in question had/have the coil rear (trailing arm) suspension with the 12Bolt rear diff. Both were running the 235-15" tires (pretty standard on these I think).
I had a '72 Cheyenne Super that had the 'leaf spring' option combined with the HD rear spring option which had the 5400lb GVW (heavy 1/2) option...which makes sense.
I'm trying to find the background on why my current C10 ('72) which doesn't show anything on the build plate has the 5400gvw rating as well.
I've included a quick pic of my build plate here...which doesn't indicate much if anything regarding suspension.
I was wondering how random the 'plating' of these trucks was?
All Good
