64 c10 shock question

[catfishhog]

I new to the forums I have a 64 c10 long bed it has 2 1/2" drop spindles and 1" drop spring does anyone have an idea what the #would be for the shock so I could pick a pair up at local parts store. Also what would be a good brand.

Drop spindles don't affect shock length so all you really need to account for is the 1" drop spring, which isn't much. Sometimes at auto parts stores you get a better selection if you go with a later bodystyle application. 67-72 wiill fit with a little persuasion, as will squarebody shocks too.
