Q.What springs did they use 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton, my ..guess is 1/2 ton.
A.You took the words out of my mouth.
..That is what I was thinking after I was driving home from the car show.
..I should have taken a picture of the rear leaf springs, but I looked at them and they had 10 leafs.
..I do not know the visual difference between the 1/2 & 3/4 ton rear leaf springs.
The 4.57 gears were stock but I believe 5.14 were an option in the 3/4-ton.
That is a good point, the owner states it was used for towing and does have a beefy rear hitch & ball.
I can't think of any reason the factory would go through all the trouble to install a power glide engine and put the stock truck four speed behind it.
Higher horse power engine for towing. 235 vs. 216, The rear of the engine blocks are the same.
edit note: reread your information, I kept on thinking it was a power glide and not a four speed manual transmission.
That's Good, Now we're on the same page.
