WTB: Rear shocks for a 71 GMC
Like the title says I'm looking for some new rear shocks. The frame is a C25 3/4ton leafspring as you can see from my sig. I finally have the truck running great and licenced so now I REALLY need new rear shocks. They are what looks like the factory shocks
When I'm driving the truck I can feel the back end wander and bounce all over when I hit a bump in the road. I was looking at buying the KYB gas-adjust shocks, part number KG5419. I would like to help support the venders at this board so I thought I would see how much some new shocks would run me. I don't have my heart set on the KYB but I've heard good things about them. Althought I could be persuaded to go with another shock. If you venders could give me price quote and maybe some suggestions on shocks I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Kevin

Hi Kevin,
I put a nice set of Monroe shocks on my '71 truck, and it rides like new again. You can get them from most of the better auto parts stores. In my opinion, I do not think I would get a better ride for the money with the KYB set. Steve
