Hi,
Can someone tell me what kind(and how long)of shock absorbers go under the 1959 Fleetside? Mine doesn't have any under it so I can't meassure or compare them.

Kind regards, Pancho

@LONGBOX55
Are any modification necessary to mount the Monroe Sensa 37188?
Do you know new original style shock absorbers?

EDIT:
How do I know if my old shock absorbers needs to be replaced?

The Monroe I listed should fit, no alterations. It's a direct fit aftermarket. I got both numbers from the Monroe Master Catalog.
