Questions for the GMC Brain Trust:

1) Did GMC actually do anything to the suspension system to up the GAWR and GVWR or just "pencil whip it?"

Rob,

I am assembling some details on the 4 different GVWs used over the 6 years of production which will take me a little while (we have company and they are distracting me).



I can tell this much now:

I was told by one of the original Engineers that one of the increases was a "paper" change made per Kurdt Stubenvoll, the others resulted from changes in the product.

The 4 different vintage parts books, Jan.1973 - 78Z show the same torsion bar part numbers for all years.
