Drum/drum brake trucks AND disc/drum trucks.
Doesn't matter which rearend was in it.
It's EVEN MORE noticeable on the 67-69 trucks (with the narrow rear housing), that people have added disc brakes to.
And GM hasn't stopped. I believe it's been done all the way up to the current model year trucks. When the "new" 2007's came out I remember a video showing a 4wd in mud and how the different track widths help the truck go through the mud better. Pretty sure it was one of the GM videos with Howie Long in it.
