I have a gmc short step titled 65. It has rear leaf springs (should be coil) It was a rear end that I am trying to determine the year, etc.

The rear end: Counted the ratio, 3.54. Small tag on cover says 46 13 and below 3 54. So i have the ratio right. I measured the drums, 11 inches in diameter. 6 bolt axels. The rear springs have like 8 springs each. I am thinking someone swapped the rearend with a heavy duty one. Anyone have any thoghts on which one? Is this really a 65 gmc?
