i cannot find longer than stock u blots for a coil sprung 70 c10 rear end. I figured somebody must know on here where to go. i want to make my own blocks so i dont want to buy the complete kit. i think the measurements are about 4" center to center x 3/4" by 8" or so. i very well could be wrong though. thanks, david

generally if you find a suspension shop you can tell them to make you some 24" long 5/8 thread for a 3" axle tube and they should know what to do. make sure they give you new nuts and washers too..

I just took one of my originals to a spring shop and told them I needed 2 new ones 2" longer (2" blocks) Worked like a champ. The shop was listed in the yellow pages under "Springs-Auto-Sales & Service". I think they cost me about 30 bucks.
