Yup. Most GMC trucks had them standard, and optional on Chevy. The one tons were all leaf, along with all longhorn 3/4 ton. Leafs were also avalible on normal 3/4 ton under the same rules as the 1/2 ton listed before.

Thanks for all the pictures...keep'em coming.
also need some help in the u-bolt area (above and below). What I'm really trying to determine if bolts are supposed to be fastened above or below the tubes, and see what the bolt brackets/holders look like. Thanks.
