'68 GMC rear leaf width questions
I am hoping someone has a '68 C10, rear leaf, 2wd, and wouldn't mind measuring the leaf spring pads, center to center.
I come up with 42 1/2", center to center. I have 2 4wd 12 bolts, the '69-72 style, that measure 40 1/2" center/center. The '73-81 style 12 bolts 2wd seem to be 42 1/2" as well. Am I correct in assuming 4wd 12 bolts are different than the 2wds? I was told my truck originally had a Dana 44 tucked back there from the factory. Can anybody tell me if trucks that came with the Dana 44 had a different leaf width than trucks that came with a 12 bolt? Thanks all!! |

Re: '68 GMC rear leaf width questions
I have a 68 GMC that is stock and it came with a Dana 44. I'm pretty sure the Chevy and GMC's with leaf springs were the same.
I'll see if I can find an old post that had the measurements, otherwise, I'll re-measure and post it later this morning if someone doesn't already have it. |
