Re: Leaf or coil standard rear spring on GMC?

It's always been confusing. From what we see out there we could say Chevy = Coils standard/leaf optional and GMC = leaf standard/coil optional. BUT... if you go by the SPIDs, it's all the same. You will never see a SPID showing a "Coil Spring" option. It would seem GM made most all C10-20 GMCs with at least one option, leaf springs. Maybe it was a way to have a difference in base price for gov't order purposes. It seems they always got Chevys

I look at it like automatic transmissions. When I ordered my '92 K3500 I got every option I ever wanted. I wanted a 5spd manual transmission. While almost all trucks came through with automatic, it was still a $1,000 option. I saved that much by going with the standard transmission which is a rare exception in a loaded truck.
