Re: 1972 C20 long bed to short bed conversion question

Hey guys I’m going tomorrow to get the pics of it. It’s been raining cats and dogs out here. On the carrier crossmember you can see the studs where the rivers have been cut off that went to the trailing arms. All I know is the added leaf spring option brackets from the factory are no longer recognizeable except the two rear ones that someone didn’t take from the original spot and mangle in to a half a way of lowering the truck. I went and looked at a 71 short bed today and it had the coil on trailing arms. I’m pretty sure Boog is right mine had the trailing arm and still retains the factory shock brackets someone has just made their own shock support brackets and I believe removed the trailing arms, coils, shocks and the single leaf and went with a 6 leaf setup and lowered it as cheap as possible
