I believe GMC's had trailing arms until '63 or '64 then they started offering leafs. Could be wrong, but both my '60s have had trailing arms.

trailing arms are a requirement for coil spring rear ends on anything.

That bracket with the rubber bumper on the trailing arm, is for the leaf overload springs that were an option.

well i asked if you needed the brackets and got no answer, anyhow if you MEASURE the support bolt pattern i'm sure it won't fit the rubber brkts.

Yesterday I came across my 1963 Chevrolet Truck Engineering Features Book and there's a page stating that this vulcanized mount was released on C/K 10,30 Single Unit Bodies and all series CDLMS500-80 with a single, central mount.
