I have read about them before in a sales brochure and was curious if anybody else has had these on one of their GMC trucks and if it helps any with ride quality. I have never seen any photos of them other than what I saw in the brochure. Just curious about them. I think it's neat to learn something else unique about the GMC trucks verses Chevy. Here is a link to the brochure I mentioned: 57 GMC Sales Brochure or just the section I was talking about: Pic | | | | | Joined: Oct 2015 Posts: 338 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2015 Posts: 338 | Like this one?? https://goo.gl/photos/QpbnPhBmD6SHHVHi7 Was told this was only offered in 55 on the Chevy's so I guess I've learned something new again! What do you suppose it's worth? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,280 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,280 | How does it attach, and function?

No idea what they are worth. Footstomper do you have a pair? Here is another add for them: GMC RSD Suspension | | | | | Joined: Oct 2015 Posts: 338 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2015 Posts: 338 | No idea what they are worth. Footstomper do you have a pair? A buddy has a set... that's where I got the picture from. I'm curious about reasonable value also...
