Re: 67 SWB fleetside it the one for me
You could get leaf springs on both the Chevys and GMCs, as I've owned 2 Chevrolets with them, both of them lwb, 1/2 ton, 2wd...1 was a CST and the other a Cheyenne Super. The GMCs most generally came with leafs, while the opposite was true on the Chevrolets.
I heard that the reason for the difference in rears was because the GMC was considered more of a work truck and needed the heavier rear, whereas the Chevy was more of an upscale truck...that may be reversed, or even incorrect, but that's what I've been told a couple of times.
