Original Shocks?

What color and brand were the original shocks and what did they look like on a 1/2 ton 4x4?

Re: Original Shocks?

What year? My 68 truck had spiral shocks on it, probably from the factory. I have some NOS shocks. They are grey.

72 4x4. I could see 2wd having the gray spiral shocks like a lot of the GM muscle cars of the day but not sure on anything 4x4.

Re: Original Shocks?

I know my 67 2wd half ton has the spiral shocks but does not have the hd shocks. The hd shocks were grey as well but were not spiral. I would think 4x4 would have hd shocks but not sure.
