'62 K10 rear shocks: should I stagger/offset them?
Couple things running through my mind about the rear suspension on my '62 K10 project (I can't actually start on it for a while, so I'm brain-building it)
The rear shocks are set up so they limit side-to-side motion (wide at the bottom, meet more in the middle of the cross member at the top).
Modern trucks have the rear shocks set up running fore and aft, with a mount on the housing and one shock leaning forward to the frame mount, the other shock leaning backwards to the upper frame mount. This helps combat axle wrap.
Has anybody done that conversion to their early K-series trucks?
