Leafs were possible. A flip kit would work, removing a couple leafs would work too. There are several vendors that specialize in suspension in these trucks. ECE (Early Classic Enterprises) would be able to help you. Actually check out the review board here to find vendors that have good and bad reputations.
Personally I like LMC's catalog but I don't like the quality of their parts or their customer service. It seems the people answering the phone are just people answering the phone, not "truck" people.

It was an option on all 67-72. It seems that most Chevies came with coils, and most GMC's came with leaves but they could be ordered either way.
