Re: Shocks for my 63 K10
Thanks for the info, originally was going to flip this truck but now that I've been driving everyday I am hooked. I had a 1955 Napco in my twenties and I missed that truck.
This one brings back memories of that truck. I had ordered pro comps shocks from 4wheel parts and the eyelets ends are the wrong size, I tried to return them but they said it been to long. Bought them awhile ago. I will try those numbers and let you know. Thanks |

Re: Shocks for my 63 K10
No I haven't, but now that you mention it I'll check on it before buying another set.
Thanks Joe |

Re: Shocks for my 63 K10
Nice rigs! Had a '57 3/4 ton utility truck in my 20s. Yes indeed the '63 reminds of the Napco too.
As far as the bushings, I ended up having to remove the inner sleeves from all of the eyes as I remember. Haven't had an issue yet. Best of luck with the fitting. Its good to have a good set of shocks under these trucks.

I recall that the shocks I used were actually made for a school bus. They were a Monroe Magnum 60 version and were fantastic shocks for the setup. The only thing I had to do was to weld two large flatwashers on each side of the upper rear crossmember because the holes were wallowed out. Then I could install the new hardware and shocks into the upper mounts. Does your rear axle have the 6" tall spacer block that also holds the shock mount between the axle and the spring?
