1971 Custom deluxe 1/2 ton BB 402? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Old-Dbls · 10-25-2009, 04:57 AM

Seems like most 71-72 Big block 402 trucks I've seen were
3/4-ton... Is a 1971 Custom deluxe 1/2 ton 402 Big Block
W/coil springs less common than a 3/4 ton???...

Thanks....

I don't think they are that much less common but do carry a fair price difference.

On the price difference you mentioned...
In todays market, is the 1971-72 chevy 3/4 ton big block with
leaf springs worth more $$$, Or is the 1/2 ton big block with
coil springs worth more?--- Which is more desirable?

A 3/4 ton big block with coil springs would be most desireable if you are hauling a heavy load.

It depends on who you are talking to when you ask the question about $$$ worth.
