Any difference in a 72 Chev 2WD Coil Frame and a GMC 2WD Coil Frame?

Thanks

Should be exactly the same

As long as they're the -exact- same spec, I believe they are identical (same part numbers). But I -think- you could get a coil 3/4T, so of course you have to match 1/2T to 1/2T, 3/4T to 3/4T, HD options, and so on.

There are no differences between Chevy and GMCs. The only differences between any frames are the type of suspension and/or drivetrain.

These are the different PICKUP TRUCK frames as I understand plus variations for auto. vs standard trans.. Any corrections are invited.
