c30 shocks

should my 1972 c30 have shocks in the rear? It looks like there are lower brockets but i don't think i saw anywhere to mount the upper part of the shock.

I believe on the 1 ton series, shocks were optional. What you see is indeed correct. If you had the rear shock option it would be listed on the glovebox.

That is 100% correct. Even on the fleet side (longhorn) and on the 9 foot step side rigs, the shocks were not standard equipment.

Could shocks be added easily? Would it help the ride enough to be worthwhile?
