This one brings back memories of that truck.
I had ordered pro comps shocks from 4wheel parts and the eyelets ends are the wrong size, I tried to return them but they said it been to long. Bought them awhile ago.
I will try those numbers and let you know. Thanks

I will dig into my old books for my truck. I had a truck that I used a 1960 K10 frame and installed a 69 body on it. I recorded every part number I put in it.
I recall that the shocks I used were actually made for a school bus. They were a Monroe Magnum 60 version and were fantastic shocks for the setup.
The only thing I had to do was to weld two large flatwashers on each side of the upper rear crossmember because the holes were wallowed out. Then I could install the new hardware and shocks into the upper mounts.
Does your rear axle have the 6" tall spacer block that also holds the shock mount between the axle and the spring?
