Re: info needed 72 gmc
First, welcome to the board!
Now, the bad news.....unless you are a supporter, posting WTB, WTS, etc., isn't permitted. For $25/year, you can get all the privileges that you need. Again, glad to have you on the board.

Re: info needed 72 gmc
 to the board. Heres a link to shorten your frame. I can't see where leaf springs would be any different than coils.http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=123624

Re: info needed 72 gmc
So you have an original matching numbers big block GMC Sierra, and you want to cut it up and make a short bed Chevy?
 IMO you'd be better off keeping it original and lower it. Have you seen the long beds lowered? s/t

Re: info needed 72 gmc
4 headlights are always better than 2
But if this is what you like. Go for it.
