62rear shock change???

[cag]

has anyone cut the old bracket off and made a new upper shock mount? i have a 5in drop on the rear and looking to do something diff with the upper shock mount

I've cut them off and installed a prefabricated relocator kit, but not made my own.

[SkinnyG]

I have.

I cut them off, lengthened them, and welded them back on, but such that they aren't bottom out when the axle is.

what is the part number of the shocks??

Monroe 37040 (67-72 C10)

How do you like those Monroes? I have a different vehicle and the only brand of shocks I can find for it are Monroe.

I've run Monroe Blacks before, and they valved decent. They aren't a racing shock, but I'd buy them again.

I would avoid Monroe Blue. WAY too soft.
