x2. I hear people say they did but they are misled. There were no 8-lug shortbed square bodies or 67-72s. There has always been a heavy duty spring option and at some point in the '70s GM started calling 10-series with this option "Heavy Half" and some started calling them 5/8t,still not a 3/4t (nor 5/8t). They never called a 3/4t with HD spring option "Heavy Three Quarters" or 1t...nor 7/8t,for that matter.
I've never known of a 60-66 SWB 3/4t except for 4wd Panels. I have known of SWB 3/4t pickups in the 55-59s. The one my friend had had 8-lug 15" split rims
