Gotta tell ya about my buddies find!!!
It's a 69 or 70 Chevy, the VIN starts out CE140S I assume the 5th digit from left being a zero, makes it a 1970???
Its a LWB, 350, power brakes, grandma 4 speed 2WD. No AC, very few other options, EXCEPT it has leaf springs and a 12 bolt...I've never seen a Chevrolet with leaf springs. I''m sure it's an option. Pictures coming... |

Yes, my truck has rear leaf springs. It's a Longhorn Custom Camper.

I also thought all the longhorns had leafs as they were the heavier 3/4 and one ton versions

Re: Gotta tell ya about my buddies find!!!
My 71 SWB has leaf springs to the SPID. Agree with Hugger, though I've heard one of our finer members swear every Custom Deluxe he's seen has rear leaf springs.
