Re: C10 rear suspension

aintnoV8 you may want to ask the guys in the 47-59 forum what fits your truck best, but I will offer the best advice I can. You need to know what width rear axle you have to get started. From what I know all of the 60-66 trucks were coil springs, with the earlier trucks having a smaller axle.

You will need to look at the 67 or later to find leaf spring axles. The 67-70 trucks came standard with coil spring, but leaf spring was an option. It seems to have been that "most" GMC came with leaf and "most" Chevies came with coil through that generation but not all.

Also note that the 67-68's had an axle that was 1.5" narrower that the 69+.
