? Chevy 4x4 with Rear Coil Over ?

I was told yesterday at a show that Chevy built a limited number of SWB 4WD Trucks with Rear Coil Over Suspensions. Can anyone verify this? He said that he thought it was 70 or 71 but not sure when they did it. Is he correct or blowing smoke?

Not an expert by any means, but from what I've seen and learned while restoring my '69 K10 I'm going to say he's blowing smoke.

He may have seen 2wd to 4x4 conversions like mine. I just flipped the axle to the bottom of the swing arm. It's coil rear, but not coilover.
