Factory big block with trailing arms?
I know, no pics or it didn't happen. My buddy came over with his '69 SWB stepper that is a factory BB truck, I sold him a rear end and thought nothing of it till I saw the truck and realized it should be leaf rear? Right? SPID has 396 listed, he was in a hurry to get his kid from school so I just glanced at said SPID. Next time he is over I will get more info and pics.
He claims that his step-dad has owned the truck since new or shortly thereafter. I am not new to these trucks by no means but am not the final authority either, many more here who are much more knowledgeable. What gives? |

Re: Factory big block with trailing arms?
The VIN tag will tell you when it was "born". It could be a very early '69 using the 68 suspension.

Re: Factory big block with trailing arms?
Coil springs were the default with a Big Block. The the trans. determined the axle used. In 69 three-speed manual or automatics were 3.07 12-bolts and the two four-speeds were 3.54 D60 SF axles on coils or leafs.

I had a 69 custom camper C10 with factory BB and coil springs. I have a 72 C20 now with a 402 and coil springs.
