does any one know if shocks that will fit a '73 will work on a '71.I was looking on doestch tech's website and found that they have nitro drop shocks for a 5/7 but they fit a 73-85 body style?

Front shocks are the same for sure.

I've used Doestch Tech 73-87 front on my trucks before. You can order Summit brand sport truck shocks and they are reboxed Doestch Tech units.
