The rear set is different than what's listed in the "Assembly Line Manuel". Is this an after market set up, or just an option? Also when I restore, I want it to be original. Would the top helper part be necessary? Any help on removing them would be appreciated. On another note, I assume that the rubber bumper is to hit the leaf spring. However, it is offset from it. Please elaborate on this. Pictures at:

I would say the shackles and springs are for at minimum a 3/4 ton, hope that helps | | | | | | ZooKeeper Unregistered | | ZooKeeper Unregistered | You have at least a 3/4ton or 1 ton truck & from looking at your truck in the gallery pics and from just looking at the springs & shackles. Those are NOT 1/2ton springs, shackles or bed, all are the same as 3/4 and/or 1 ton truck. If your springs are 54x1 3/4 you have a 3/4ton if they are 46x2 you have a 1ton...Joe http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/chevyresto/52132.html | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 102 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 102 | Zoo Keeper
Was getting a 3/4 ton or 1 ton set-up a dealer option or something the owner added after it was bought? | | |
