UPDATE! - Rear Clamshell Lift Supports

So I finished this a few weeks ago but had no time to get out and shot some photos. I ended up having to go with a stronger shock than I thought I would previously (http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php?t=184824). I did not take into consideration that the hinge on the door is not a simple "door hinge" design. When closing the top door the struts completely compress then reopen a few inches. This actually forces the door to stay closed. I took all the measurements but can't find them right now. I will post them as soon as I can. I will also submit all the info to Jolly at www.6066gmcguy.org so he can make a page for it if he likes. I will probably end up riveting the brackets to the truck for a cleaner finish then the temp screws that are there now. Check it out. Let me know what you think.
