Give them a try.
Also, around in my area O'Riellys parts store goes out of their way to help find parts like this. If you have one give them a try also. Hope this helps, let us know how you do on them. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |

trying,
Keep asking for part number on this site. You might also try to get used to NAPA's search feature. I usually look for a part number on-line and then call NAPA with the number, to see if they have it in stock or if they can get it.
If you call NAPA and they say they can get a part that is not in stock, ask them about the cost of the item and the shipping charge. Usually, they do not charge for the shipping of a part to the store; however, I have sadly found that is not always the case (and that I would have been better off buying the part on-line).

We have a local shop that works on rebuilding springs and also has all chassis parts, this is the kind of place to locate.
Best of luck | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 4,095 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 4,095 | I went on the auto zone site and they listed shocks for your truck.they may have to be ordered but it will only take a couple of days. also if you can read the number on the old ones they may be able to cross reference them.

Everything I buy has been wrong because all they go by is the computer. Not like you FLAPS that has books and can look it up to see all the notes.Autozone couldn't even get me the right spark plugs for early 216 | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 4,095 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 4,095 | i work there and we do the best that we can with the information we are given. i looked up the shocks and they are available. 16.99 here.
