Nice! It makes me wish I could get started on my 52 pickup, but 1 project at a time!

the came with Car Qwest gas shocks

I would have thought they'd have supplies a littel better but, that's alright. I figured I give them a try for a little bit and change them out if they didn't seem to do much good (which I'm not expecting).
What kind of money are we looking at for the Bilstine shocks? I've never looked them up. It be great if you do already know which part number I should be looking at.
Thanks!

31 Special, I will look for the part numbers and other info on the Bilstines. Use the ones you have on it, so you will be able to tell the positive difference when you get some miles on it. It worked for me.

Great! I appreciate it.

The Bilstine Shock number for Mll is #AK1352. these are the ones I have on my 55 GMC. Now I will find the phone number for the shop in El Cajone that the Bilstine guy is working out of. From memory (short) I think the name was RCD or RCS Race Car Suspension?? I will find the reciept

Cool. A quick search produced a cost of 64.35 each (eshocks.com)
