I looked at classic parts and jim carter and LMC but they all sounded pretty expensive to me... Anyone have any suggestions (other than vulgar ones)...? This truck isn't a 'hauler' anymore, it's just a hunting truck that gets pretty light duty use.

Any parts store ought to be able to supply them.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | I just checked the Monroe catalog, they only list the fronts, part #5942, 80321 at Sears. Might check Gabriel, they may still list rears for it. Actually, that's whats on mine beacause monroe didn't list them for '55.

I paid about $25.00 each. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | Did a little poking around, Advance has listings for them, as does shockwarehouse.com. I will admit, the catalog I have is limited to what Sears sells, and may not have everything that they offer.

Bring your old shock down to the parts store and compare it to a new shock. Whether they know it or not, they have a book from the shock manufacturer that actually gives all these specifications, so you have to find a parts person who knows how to read a book or look it up yourself. Find the one that fits closest to your lengths and diameters. | | |
