Rear leaf's to coil's, and 6 lug to 5 lug - what year was the changeover?
Few question for you good folks, if you don't mind.
Specific to 67-72 C10 2wd shortbeds, I'm trying to find out when rear coil suspension become an option over leaf's, and in which year became standard? Same question for 6 lug to 5 lug changeover. I'm considering ordering a complete rear-end housing from Moser. Their website lists two options for our trucks: - 1963-69 Chevy C10 Pick Up Truck - 1970-72 Chevy C10 Pick Up Truck They offer no option of suspension type (leaf or coil), nor lug count (5 or 6). Does this mean rear coils weren't introduced until 1970? |

Chevy had coils as standard, and GMC had leafs as standard. Either truck could be ordered either way. 71 went to 5 lug in 2wd.

There is a difference in the width of rear axle depending on what year also

70 rear ends could be either width. I think it was a mid year change. It would still be 6 lug however. I think they were about 2" wider.
