I have only ever seen about 50 red GQ utes with leaf springs at all for corners. :roll:

the utes came with the option of leaf or coils - leaf have a greater load carrying ability

They do exist. Last week, a mate had a 1998 GQ (was first registered in 98, but assembled in 97) ute with leafs all round in his workshop to fix fuel pump leak. A rare beast over here, but the certainly do exist.

Yes they are about!
I had to get a front tail shaft off a leaf sprung GQ ( It has a Cardinal Joint ) to sort out a vib / noise issue I was having after lifting my GQ wagon
