55.2-59 GMC Road Shock Damper RSD Photos - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Since pictures of these are just as rare as the real thing, I snapped some photos before and after my disc brake conversion on the GMC Suburban Pickup this weekend. Enjoy!

These Road Shock Dampers were Standard equipment on all GMC Suburban pickups, and optional on all other GMC Pickups. They contain a sprung weight in the canister that counteracts the force of bumps in the road, creating a smoother ride.

Had some take a bit of material off of the caliper to clear the RSD's for the Disc Brake conversion
