Rear Shock Relocate Options?
 

So, I've only had this truck for a short time and I'm uncovering the little surprises 1 by 1 by 1...

The latest issue is the rear suspension.
I knew it was riding rigid so I went down to the local shop to talk options. When we got underneath - I was blown away when I saw the missing chunk in the pics below. It's lowered but not slammed, and I will be replacing shocks all around for sure.

I have a guy who can weld a slat on there for me, but I'm asking you Fellas what you would do if it was your truck.

Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated.

Thanks Fellas,

I’m thinking this might be my ticket:

Unless I’m missing something - this might be the way to go to avoid unnecessary mods to current leaf spring setup.

Any thoughts on these folks and their products?

With that shock angle, you literally have no shocks.
I like their (no Limit) rear sway bar set up also. I have a CPP Unit now but am planning on swapping it out for theirs.
However since your lowered you might consider the CPP rear cross member - http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=659584
It allows my rear end to bottom out in the C-notch before the third member touches the cross member.

Truth on the shock angle for sure.
I'm looking at all options - and appreciate the response.
I'll check it out.

Thx again.

I have a 65 GMC frame out back and can get you pictures tomorrow of what the factory brackets looked like. That may give you an idea on a way to proceed. Not sure if its the picture angle but the drive shaft angle looks a bit steep.
