Another question I know that 1/2 4x4's coninued to use the 6 bolt pattern
past 71 I'm wondering how long GMC 1/2 2 wheel drives used the 6 bolt
pattern did they follow suit with chevy or use them later? I think I'm going
to take a chance and go ahead and get it. If nothing else it will work in a
69/70/71 GMC (Good tradin material)
Thanks Guys
