Re: Leaf or coil standard rear spring on GMC?

Does it show coils on the SPID?
OP question is whether coil or leaf was standard on GMC - so your SPID could help answer the question for 1/2 tons at least. For Chev, coils were standard on C10 and C20 (except longhorn as Tim mentions) so if one rolled off the line with leafs, it would be annotated on the SPID. So, if leafs were std on GMC, for instance, coils will be on the SPID as they would have had to have been ordered as optional equipment. If your SPID doesn’t list coils, then we can assume coils were std.

72longstepper - your SPID could also provide useful evidence (by showing no options for suspension coil vs leaf)

I have no idea why gmc would have a different suspension as standard equip compared to Chev, but this is not the first time I’ve heard the gmc/leaf story. So am interested to see your SPID kmfb.
