64 chevy short box fleet side...
Hey folks, I'm a newbie here and just wanted to ask a quick question and I will post pics tomorrow...I just picked up my dream truck 1964 Chevy short box fleet side. I have found some very valuable info here, thanks! my question is the truck is supposed to be original but does not have coil springs it has leaf springs with 6 lug axles...it does not appear to be the original rear...did any of these trucks come with leaf springs? Thanks again
Jeff |

Welcome to the forum!
Is it a 4x4 or 2wd? |

GMC's came with leaf springs and some Chevy's did but I am not sure if the short beds did or not.

Welcome to the forum
![]() As mentioned above, most GMC's came with leaf springs, but it was an option on the Chevy's as well. All of the '70 and earlier 2wd 1/2 tons came with 6 lug wheels.

Re: 64 chevy short box fleet side...
Thank you!
Its 2 wheel drive, 283 with 3 in the tree. the frame is in nearly perfect condition. the body has a fair amout of rust, I'm working on the cab corners and drivers side Rocker panels now...it's just a little odd that the frame is in such good condition compared to the body....Thanks again |

Pictures would help. Maybe the frame is not a 1964 frame.
