Coilovers on a 1969 1/2ton - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Oldschool69 · 06-16-2009, 01:54 PM

If there is anyone out there that can help me with a little problem it would help out a lot. I got a 1969 short bed with coilovers on it as well as coil springs. The problem is that I can't find any sites that carry them for my truck. I'm not really sure what to do about this. If anyone could provide me with some help that would be great. Thank you for your help.

You need to post pictures. I think you have "coilspring helper shocks", in which case you can replace them with a regular shock.

Welcome to the board and I agree that you might have spring helpers....

Yes, but smaller in diameter. The shock will go down through the middle of it.....

these shocks put a lot of stress on the shock mounts, and are known for busting them off.
