Leaf or coil standard rear spring on GMC?

Well, I'd have to scratch that source for being a good one, because that is totally wrong. Trim level had nothing to do with it and anyone who knows anything about these trucks knows that much.

Yes, that's a known fact. The question is were GMCs the same way. I say yes, but they still came through mostly with leafs

In my area (northern Alberta, Canada) 67-72 1/2 tons with rear leafs are rare. I have actually only seen two. One was a 71 Chevy 6 cyl , 4 speed standard, (plain Jane) and the other is my Sons 1970 GMC 1/2 ton 307 3 speed standard.
Pretty sure leafs were an option and seems it was not picked often, at least on the trucks of this era I am familiar with.
