Re: shortbed 2wd with leaf springs???

it was an option on all trucks that came with coils in the back. SWB, LWB, 10 series or 20 series.

Re: shortbed 2wd with leaf springs???

...but, I still prefer the coils.

Weren't GMC's normally equipped with leaf springs and coils were the option? That was the reverse of Chevy....

I've got a swb leaf frame here. It'll get switched to coils before I use it though.

thats what people here think, but like some of us keep saying, it's not that easy.
Some years, some sizes (ie 1500/2500) came standard with leafs, while other years had coils standard.
