The 67-72 Chevy truck had rear coils. The panhard bar keeps the truck located properly. That was done so the Nascar boys could run a three link coil sprung rear end. They still use it today. GMC got coils in '67 too but they had a bad tendency to wheel hop in mud and loose dirt so GMC switched back to leaves in '68 or '69.
