Your truck as a 3100 is a 1/2 ton.

The 3600 is a 3/4 ton and I don't know if there is a difference.

Usually in a case like this I start checking other reliable sources to see if the parts fit the model I need them for.

Here, using the LMC Cheat sheet with 1/2 ton on this page http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/ca/full.aspx?Page=89 and the 3600 3/4 ton on page 90 you can compare parts numbers. I didn't say you had to buy their parts but LMC is an easy to use source for figuring out things like this. It looks like the front shackle kits are the same part number for 1/2 and 3/4 tons.

There is always that chance that you can get them locally for a reasonable price with no shipping too.

As an example this is what Napa shows for the pieces for a 52 3100 http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/Re...25007/Ne-25000
You can plug in your zip code and get local list prices. They may or may not be reasonable compared to other vendors though.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
