Hello everyone!
I just bought a ‘53 GMC Truck. It has a Chevy front end on it. The guy I bought it from said the frame was from a ‘91 Silverado. Long story short I went to buy shocks for it and 3 of them fit and 1 doesn’t. In the back the driver side has the shock that goes towards the back of the truck, measures about 19”, that ones good. The passenger side goes to the front of the truck and it measures about 14” the shocks I bought don’t collapse that much. I see no marks anywhere on the frame. Does anyone out there have any idea what exactly I have? Any help would greatly be appreciated. FYI it’s a 10 bolt rear end.
