65 K10 Shock Absorbers?

Was wondering what is available for front and rear shocks for a 65 K-10.

Not having much luck searching online, just looking for an OEM-type replacement or similar, don't need coilovers or offroad type.

Has anyone found something that is actually for another vehicle that will fit, or...?

Numbers seem to be good and still available.

I ordered the Monroe 34944's for the front, still thinking about the back.

Here's a link to another thread that has some more pertinent info that some might find helpful, that I found in the thread that Getter-Done led me too.

Will be a while before I can install the fronts but will report back with how it goes.

Re: 65 K10 Shock Absorbers?

Finally got around to installing the front shocks on my 65 K10.

Pretty much a bolt-on, had no alignment issues with the bolt holes.

I stacked a few washers between the frame and the top end of the shock to fill the gap and make it stand off the approximately 1/2" as the stock shocks do.

As you can see in the pics I used the Monroe 34944s, was glad to see that they are still made in the USA.

Going to do some more study before I pull the trigger on the back shocks, but will update this thread when I do.
