I've been looking for a shortbed frame to replace my long bed and I think I finally located one but I'm not sure if it was coil or leaf (I have submitted the question to the seller). Question I have is what is the difference between the coil and leaf 2WD frames? It looks like the rear cross member above the axle is different than the one with coil pockets on my current frame (which is rusted anyway).
If it is leaf, can I source a new coil cross member and replace the leaf one?
Any other differences I need to be aware of like engine cradle, etc? I already know not to get a 67 frame since it does not have the dimple for power steering.
This is the frame:
