Back window hinges

I found the gas shocks that work on the 68 to 72 suburbans wont work, the shock itself will bind because the shock is a little to thick in diameter for the space between the body and gate. I read somewhere that 57 Chevy wagon lift-gate supports will work but don't lift it as high. I just installed a set of the 57's on mine, only requires one hole to be drilled and a rivnut installed (the rivnut hole will be covered by the originals if you find a set.) The gate side bolts right on but use the lower original mounting hole on the jamb and you will need a new hole between since the 57 mount is a little smaller on the jamb side. Mine is a k-10 so it is high enough for me until I find a set, if I ever find a set. If you run across two sets please let me know so I can buy one from you. You may also want to take a closer look at Lokar hood support rods. I didn't get far enough in my investigation but it looks like they will work
