Steering stabilizer for my 71 K-10????????? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I see most places offer steering stabilizer shocks for the 73-87 4x4's but what about us 67-72 guys? Can you get a kit for them? Thanks.

when i contacted suspension connection they said one below fits a 67-72 also, sounded strange to me why they have labeled that way but supposedly their tech dept says it will work, i havent put on yet gonna be a few weeks but ill let you know if i find out different.

Budwies: I just got of the phone with the Suspension Connection tech support and he said it will work on my 71. I mentioned that the website says 73-87 and he wasn't sure why. Let me know how that install goes and take some pics if you can. Thanks.

The difference is in the mounting points. All you really need is the kit that is designed for "solid axle" Fords. They have "bolt-on" brackets because the Fords didn't have a factory installed stabilizer.

So would this work: http://www.suspensionconnection.com/...con/66280.html or is this designed for Fords that already have a single shock and is for upgrading to dual shocks.

Here's a pic of my setup...Monroe Gas Magnum with the separate mounting kit...from NAPA.

kickinasphalt,
That's a dual kit that goes in place of the original. It will work just fine for you. I like the dauls on anything bigger than a 35" tire.
