Re: suspension question
No changeover, leafs were an option.

Re: suspension question
Leafs or coils were available on most trucks between 67-72.

Re: suspension question
1973+ is when I believe they were all leaf sprung.

Re: suspension question
I have seen many GMC trucks with leafs so it seems most Chevys had the coils but theyh were optional so either could be found.
