Has anyone else seen these? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 1972 GMC Longhorn and these overload springs were on the truck and are an option code i believe G50, anyone seen these or happen to have a set lying around. I know that this should go in the WTB thread, but I am more interested in wether or not anyone else has seen them and has pictures? Thanks

my one ton has overloads...but they don't quite look like that.

The G50 option I think was a 3/4 ton option. It was the 1 ton base spring pack with no extra spring on the top. That setup looks aftermarket. The 1 ton option was G60 and it was the big 1/2" thick spring which raised the capacity to 3750lbs per side.

I have seen the normal overload springs for the 3/4 ton trucks these were just different I tried to take a bigger picture but was unable to do to size limitations.

Give me a min to dig in my parts truck file... I THINK the '72 C/20 Longhorn i cut up had helpers exactly like the one I pictured off my '70 C/30 Longhorn.

Well, kinda found a pic of it... here it is in the bed of the one ton as scrap, both ends are cut off, but the helper is still there... I have no clue about the option code, since I didn't get the cab to this one.
