I can't seem to find front shocks for my 60' C-60. Does anyone possibly have a part source or a part number I could try at my local parts store? Thanks for any replies!

Hy Beewrangler, shocks Delco p/n D775K = GM p/n 5549915 = Napa p/n NS37187 $32.09. Those shocks have an extended length of 14.25", a compressed length of 9.375", a 3/8" N.F. top mount stem, and a 5/8" cantilever stud mount on the bottom, hardware is included, hope that helps.

Hy Beewrangler, does your truck have the factory standard torsion bar suspension, or the leaf springs and straight axle?

Hy Beewrangler, if you could give me your shocks extended length, and collapsed length I may be able to find them by specification, at rest length is no use to me at all. And you are saying that they fit onto a 3/4" stud at each end?

Hy Beewrangler, according to my Euclid catalogue it should be there p/n E83210 = GM p/n 5557565, the upper mount is offset with a 3/4" hole, the width of the mount is 3.125", the lower mount is centered with a 3/4" hole, and is 1.75" wide, niether number would cross into Napa numbers, hope that helps
