Re: shortbed 2wd with leaf springs???
it was an option on all trucks that came with coils in the back. SWB, LWB, 10 series or 20 series.

Re: shortbed 2wd with leaf springs???
...but, I still prefer the coils.
Weren't GMC's normally equipped with leaf springs and coils were the option? That was the reverse of Chevy....

Some years, some sizes (ie 1500/2500) came standard with leafs, while other years had coils standard. |

Re: shortbed 2wd with leaf springs???
I've got a swb leaf frame here. It'll get switched to coils before I use it though.
