I finally have my 60 running and driving so now I am turning my attention to replacing the bed wood and suspension. I can find front shocks and rear coil springs at the various restoration parts places online but am not seeing much for rear shocks. I do not want to lower the truck, in fact I wouldn't mind if the rear sat a little taller. I would like to be able to haul modest loads (firewood etc) as well. Any leads on where to look or certain brands? Most of the restoration parts places don't divulge the brands they sell.

Here is the truck as it sits now.

I see Monroe shocks for the front and Gabriel for the rear. No springs. They seem pretty cheap, they are ok for basic truck needs?

I got my rear shocks from Napa last fall. Something like 25 a piece.

OK sounds like basic cheap shocks are OK. I will just get what's available. I can't seem to find both springs and shocks at one place
