looking for some reasonable lowering blocks. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am looking for some 1" rear lowering blocks for my 1967 C10 rear coil spring truck.
I see for like $60.00 in catalogs, this is crazy, I have seen for like 18/20 dollars for leaf spring trucks.
I am thinking of going to a machine shop and having made up for my application.
Before I do this.
Does anyone out here make any or can anyone recommend me to someone that does?

thank you.

i made my own but if you dont have access to a machine shop you might not think 60 dollars is bad once they tell you the price. shops charge around 50-60 an hour and then the material then the u bolts.

I made my own out of SS. I don't use them anymore. Would be willing to sell for $75 including the extra long U-bolts. BTW, mine are actually 3/4"
