The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk all 4 shocks for 64 gmc k1000 4x4 1/2 ton

Hey guys, I need part #s on front and rear shocks for a 64 4x4 1/2 ton, should be the same as the chevy k10. No one lists any except Kanter, and it doesn't say for sure.....but theirs are 189 for 4. I've seen pictures of ranchos on some, but don't see it in their catalog. HELP....

i don't know if it will help but back in 1989 i bought a set of 4 delco heavy duty shocks ,they were the same front and rear for a 1962 gmc 1/2 4x4 part # 501-56 .cant find any applications also now but o'reiley's said they are still a good number but they cant order delco .

that should work......thanks old dog

I looked ALL OVER THE WEB!!!!......and found those numbers on a couple of websites as correct for the 67-whatever, I know that the factory literature says the 67 ups were 4 lower to make it easier to get into, so I think they will work, but may not be perfect.
I went to the NAPA site and put in this search string
1966 >> Chevrolet Truck >> C10 1/2 Ton 2WD - Pickup >> 5.3 L 327 CID V8 and got coil over booster shocks, gas shocks and regular shocks...take a look. I have the 305 v6 790lb motor, so a 327 motor is about as good as it gets.
Napa Response (made by monroe, I think) front RR 94005
Rear RR 9408

There are others listed, but not under GMC. I am going with the NAPA numbers first, I probably will put on a set of the booster shocks on the front, (NS 58241) for 75 bucks per 2 shocks. and gas on the back. Hope this helps, I will repost when I get the front ones in ( I just ordered them) and tell you all how it worked out.

Thanks man I have the same thing to go thru!!

I know Monroe and Gabriel make shocks for my 1962 Chevy C-10 so they will probely make them for your truck. I would also take a front-rear shock with you to the parts house and some times they can match up the shocks that are for a different vehicle.
When restoring my 62 I have had to adapt some parts from a later C-10 for example my disc brakes and calipers are off a 64 thru 66 kit and had to revamp to make them fit because of the toursion bars. ECE.,LCM. Truck Shop also has the shock kits for your truck. If you need the PH# let me know and I will PM or post them here for everyone to see.
