6X-72 Shock Angle

Does anyone know the OE shock angle on a coil suspended truck? If not.... anyone want to put an angle-finder on theirs & let me know?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I'll see if I can get it for you in the next few days if no one beats me to it.

Thanks. I moved my rear housing back to re-center the wheels @ extreme drop. I want to keep the shock angle as close to OE GM as possible when I fab the new upper mounts to compensate for the change in the wheelbase. I'm currently @ about 57-60°.
