Another consideration is that the people that wrote the option lists didnt seem to do their work uniformly, some trucks are loaded up on the sheet and other trucks might have the options but they arent listed.

Where is the search when you need it...Last time this came up GMC Paul had a long post that had all the facts. Seems that the Chevy had coils, GMC had leafs was true in 67 only and after that coils were standard, leafs were optional except for 71/72 GMCs...both coils or leafs were standard.

Per 'Chevrolet Truck Chassis Service Manual'...Chapter 4; "Rear Suspension and Drive Line".......Service information is listed for both coil and leaf springs....The load capacity chart in front of manual lists RPO G50 option which allows an increase of 521 lbs. rear end weight. This option is available only with RPO J70 (Power Brakes)......
My '71 GMC 1500 , 127 WB has leaf springs........

my 70 gmc came standard with coils, and look out when I had the camper on, you couldn't steer that baby over 30mph, longhornmail you wouldn't happen to have a pic of the old v6 that came in theses trucks would you, after 30 yrs of playing with vehicles I've yet to see a v6 in one of theses trucks.

Nothing at all like a small block...nor any other V8 ever built.
go here ( http://www.6066gmctrucks.org/305V6.htm ) for the low down. A truely awsome engine that was killed becouse GM wasn't making any money off of it. It was TOO dependable and the GM repair shops were never working on them. No revinue. Read the page there if you get a chance. Pretty awsome. I have never driven one...yet. One day when chevy_fat_man comes by driving his GMC longhorn I'll talk him into letting me take his for a spin. From what I understand, they will pull absolutly anything that you hook up to, but they are pretty booring and start wheezing at 3500 or 4000 RPM. (I may be off on the numbers...see the link) Even though the web site says good MPG, from what I understand, it was nothing to write home about. Here is a better pic of one. I have a valve cover off of one of these beasts hanging in my TV room. Something i find amazing, the fact that GMC had an engine way back then with the spark plugs up by the intake instead of by the exhaust so the plug wires wouldn't be so long (which gives more plug wire to rot) and they killed it...yet these days, they have gone back to that same set up...to keep the plug wires short. Go figure! |

man that sounds like one awesome engine, I wonder if you can get rebuild parts for them, I'd love to drive one, they sound quite torquey, and reliable too, I can't believe I've never seen one, and they only came in GMC did they.Man those were the days when they were actually trying to make the best motor they could make,

Parts ----> http://www.kanter.com/truck/gmcn.html
NAPA also has some once you prove to them that it exists. My truck had one originally..but it hit the shop floor many many years ago. I have access to 2 or 3 of these in the local shopping center. (junk yard) |
