1961 GMC k1000 front upper shock mount
Need to replace upper shock mounts on 61 gmc k1000 (chevy k10). Can't find any oem or reproduction. Ideas on what to use?
One now was welded, one is broken off. |

Re: 1961 GMC k1000 front upper shock mount
Thanks. Great looking fix for the broken shock mount. I don't have a welder, but I can find someone who does.
How did you determine what shocks to use? It looks like it would need a longer shock. Last edited by albaz; 10-03-2016 at 06:27 PM. Reason: more questions |

Re: 1961 GMC k1000 front upper shock mount
they are only a little taller than stock. the part that's broke off yours would be close. not much travel in the front anyway.

Thanks for finding these. Should be easier for me than welding.
