Never an option on the 67 - 72... just ppl confused when they see 6 lugs or helper springs.
This was in fact a thing on the 73 - 87... somewhere in the late 70's early 80's they did it. I think it was mostly a bogus thing... it's not like it was a real HD thing... it still had 5 lug wheels, and girly springs.
