1/2 ton 2wd rear leaf
Hey guys, I was just wondering how many of you guys have rear leaf springs on your chevy 1/2 ton 2wd, cause I always see coil in the rear on all the 2wd. And also how many of your 1/2 ton 2wds have heavy duty front and rear suspension.
Thanks Darin

Re: 1/2 ton 2wd rear leaf
My '68 GMC has leaf springs. I think it was common for the LB to have them, but then again, what I don't know I just make up.
