63/68 or nine as I think 70 is a little wider GMC trucks had leaf springs rather than coil springs on the rear.

I'm thinking that the 3.70 rear end that was under the 70 I had that I sold to a friend for his 65 was a bit wider than the 65 rear end that is under a trailer I have was. The only issue there was the deep reverse wheels he had on it were a tight fit in the stepside fenders. stock rims wouldn't have been an issue.
