bulldawg_GW · 02-09-2004, 12:56 AM

Need some help finding site links or book suggestions with pictures of leaf spring set-up on 2wd C-10.

BowTieMan · 02-09-2004, 01:15 AM

Did they even make leaf springs on 67-72's?

Longhorn Man · 02-09-2004, 01:30 AM

Yup. Most GMC trucks had them standard, and optional on Chevy. The one tons were all leaf, along with all longhorn 3/4 ton. Leafs were also avalible on normal 3/4 ton under the same rules as the 1/2 ton listed before.

If you cant find a link with pics I guess I can crawl under my truck and take pics of mine. Let me know what angle or pic you want.

also need some help in the u-bolt area (above and below). What I'm really trying to determine if bolts are supposed to be fastened above or below the tubes, and see what the bolt brackets/holders look like. Thanks.
