Short wheel base in 1/2 ton GMC's and Chevy's is 115". Cab mounts and everything else are in the same place.
So your 4x4 truck has a 2wd frame with the front converted to 4wd correct?
What is the new frame, 2wd or 4wd?
And yes, some Chevy and GMC 2wd's had coil springs in the rear and some had leaf springs in the rear.
