OK got it all finished except the rear shock relocation brackets ordered those from CPP my front and rear sway bars are now installed it all fit great the truck rides good but in the rear its extra BOUNCY I hope the rear shock relocation brackets fix this ?

The rear shock relocators help "stand the shocks more vertical".
Right now, they are just "pivoting" on the shock bolts.

I had this issue with my '69 C-10 when I first lowered it, and it ended up being the shocks. After I changed shocks, it got better, but was still bottoming out on the bump stops. I put the shock relocation brackets on mine after I changed shocks and removed the bump stops, and I could tell absolutely no difference at all.

Your truck looks great! If you are going to the shades run I will look for your truck. I don't go to the grand run in the fall just the spring.

67_C-30 · 08-06-2013, 11:13 PM

A pair of 8" 4x4 rims would make that thing look tough while keeping the stockish look. I did that my '69 shop truck with the same hub cap you have and it looked tough!

ballard71 · 08-07-2013, 01:23 AM

I'm going to be at the Shades of the Past in Pigeon Forge in Sept. I was hoping to bring my 72 c10 but I just haven't made the progress I was thinking I would, so I'm gonna be knocking around in my 71 k5.
