1965 C30 rear shocks same as C10??

Hello everyone,

I have a 1965 C30 long box stepside, 292 4-speed truck. I am looking for rear shock absorbers for this truck. I looked at many websites including Rock Auto, Monroe, Gabriel, Kanter, Napa, O'Reily, Autozone, etc and none show rear shocks for my truck. Brothers shows shocks, but it doesn't say whether they are for C10 or C30. LMC does not show for C30. There are some wildly expensive Rancho's that I found, but that is all. Does anyone know if the rear shocks of my C30 truck are the same as the rear shocks on a same year C10? Or, does anyone have an old shock absorber catalog of any brand listing rear shocks for a 1965 C30? The buyer's guide in the back of the catalog may have specifications for lengths and mounting types, or cross reference numbers to other brands. Any input appreciated. Thank you in advance, Chris

I built a set of brackets for my C30 which allows for the same shock at all four corners. It uses the front shock all the way around. The brackets accommodate a dual shock in the rear, one of which is an air shock and allows me to adjust ride height

Richard2112, I am looking for stock replacement shocks for my truck. You have a nice setup there!
