Re: 62 k10 4x4

Original 1962 GM Parts book lists
Group 7.345
Shock Absorber
FRONT- 3166503 ALL W/4WD
REAR - 5552295 ALL W/4WD

Numbers change in 1964-72 parts book
FRONT- 3192089 ALL W/4WD...SUP. 3166503
REAR- 3197620 ALL W/4WD...SUP. 5552295

ALL W/4WD means the K10 and the K25 used the same shock absorber.
SUPP. is an abbreviation for SUPERSEDES meaning this part replaces the previous number

The 63 -66 W/4WD used a different part number.

I took my shock absorber to the local autoparts store that have the old specification parts books from MONROE. They were kind enough to let me browse through the book to find a shock that had some of the dimensions close to what was on the truck already. You would need the collapsed length from the center of the bolt holes as well as the full extension length between centers. The size of mounting bolts and studs is also required.
