Suspensions

1960 - 1962 1/2- and 3/4-ton Chevrolet & GMC - torsion bar front end, coil springs in rear. The 1-ton and bigger trucks, had torsion bar front end, leaf springs in rear.

1963 - 1966 Chevrolet - coil springs front and rear 1/2- and 3/4-ton. The 1-ton trucks had leaf springs rear, coil springs in front.

1963 - 1966 GMC - leaf springs rear, coil springs in front, 1/2-, 3/4- and 1-ton
Canadian Trucks, both GMC and Chevy are the same as US built Chevy.

REMEMBER......YOU ALWAYS CAN CHANGE THE REAR END FOR AN UPGRADED REAR END WITH DISK BRAKES AND THE 5 LUG PATTERN. I HAVE A 8.8 FORD REAR END THAT WILL MOUNT ON A 1962 CHEVY TRUCK!!!!! I USED TO HAVE IT ON MY TRUCK BEFORE I PUT THE FORD 9" ON IT. THE 9" IS OUT OF A 56 FORD WAGON. (DRUMS) THINKING ABOUT UPGRADING TO DISK TO HELP STOP ALL THOSE MIKEY THOMPSONS.......
