The truck I bought is a 3/4 ton, but still has the long arm / coil suspension.
(un)Interesting tidbit:
The Chevy trucks of this vintage had coil springs as standard, with rear leafs as an option.
The GMC trucks had leaf springs as standard, and coils as an option.
I bought the '68 from the son of the original owner. Had paperwork going back to day one.
Never wrecked, drove it 150 miles home.
Drives fine now, but can't wait for a contemporary engine, tranny and disc brakes.
