1971 Spiral Shocks?
 

Did 1971 Chevrolet half ton pick ups come factory equipped with front and rear spiral shocks?

Thanks

Are you talking about coil springs or load leveler shocks?

I recently removed the spiral shocks off my 69, so, yes I believe that 71 would have these also.

My 70 still have them on the front!!

My 68 had spiral shocks on it all around. I still kick myself for throwing them away. I now have a set of NOS ones ready to go back on some day.

Thanks for all the replies so far....I hear a 1970...Do I hear a 1971. The Oldsmobiles I have had them in 1972....

My 72 had them on the back not too sure about the front I forget. It was a leaf spring truck.

Whats a spiral shock?

Are they the shocks with a coil spring around, kinda like a coil other?

My 72 dually still has the original front shocks. They have a spiral groove around them if that's what ya'll are talking about.

I'd give them to anyone who wanted to pay shipping. I'm not a fan of 33 year old shocks.

my 71 C10 has them front and rear still, along with the 74 c10

Here's a picture. Chevy shocks from the 50's?-early 70's? had sprials around the inner part of the shock. I don't know why but they're cool.

My truck has 8 spiral shocks...or should I say...4 originals that all rusted in half. Rough ride....yep :D

I've got two of those from a '72 1 ton GMC, they're rusted all to hell but they're surprisingly still good! Anybody have the correct part numbers for these?
