I looked through a few books that I have and don't see any listings for a k20. I would try napa if there is one in your area. They can almost always order what I need for my 61

According to auto zone,the k10 and k20 use the same shocks.
Front #82035 gabriel guardian $16.99
Rear #82086 gabriel guardian $16.99

I looked at all of my parts suppliers and auto zone is the only one to show shocks for your truck.
Ron is the man !!!!!

you may have to do it by measurement and mounting and this info is usually avail in the back of the cataloques and they are listed online but sometimes difficult to find.

bowtietim the numbers you gave me are not correct for a 4wheel drive truck. the shocks that came in were not correct they are for a 2 wheel drive. autozone shows those nos for 4 wheel drive but they are not the right 1s

If you look up 1960 k20 on auto zones site,you will see the part numbers i gave you.Complain to auto zone for the wrong part numbers listed. Are you sure the shocks you have on the truck are the right ones ? I find it hard to believe that there is nothing available.Somebody has to be able to cross reference part numbers.
Have you tried calling Monroe direct,there site only goes back to 1967 ?

I found the original delco shock that was on the truck when i bought it and the numbers on it were the same as in the 60-66 assembly manual the shocks from autozone expanded would not even come close to bolting up.
