Original shocks

Need some help from some of yall that are smarter than I am (which is alot of you). Are the shocks on a BB 72 1/2 ton suburban the same as a 72 BB C-10 pick up. I am stripping BB parts from the frame of a 72 BB 1/2 suburban that has been sitting a loooong time and it still has the original shocks, part no's and all. We will be looking for NOS shocks for Jason's truck and need a starting point for correctness.
Thanks Paul

Re: Original shocks

These are the only N.O.S. shock pictures I've saved.

It doesn't say if they are big block or not.

The part number on the box is hard to read
( maybe 31 or 33 92865 ? ) 69 1/2 ton rear

Steve, I looked up some part no's and did some homework. The spiral shocks were the standard shocks and large "fat" ones are the heavy duty. The numbers that were on the 1/2 ton BB surburban are the same ones that came on C-10, blazers and suburbans that came with the option "Heavy duty shocks". Dan Tippman said a reliable source told him if the shocks were not leaking they were still good. Trevor our shocks are nice original and I think our best option to make Jason's truck as correct as possible to have them restored. It would be much appreciated if you can get more info on the guy that does this.
We really appreciate you guys Paul and Jason
