shockless

[davecarney2]

Yep thats what I found. Bought a 1969C-30 with a dump bed. Drove it back 65-70 no issues at all. Hauled some lumber and trash stuff from the yard to the landfill mainly just to play with the dump bed. On the way home it starts wheel hopping like crazy above 50 mph. Whats going on here?? So figured it needed shocks even before that cause it floated and had some wheel hop when hitting bumps. I pull into the local auto parts place to get a price on shocks. Not sure which ones to get and unsure what axel was under it figured this is way too easy. Ill just lift the dump bed and look. Guess what I didnt find.....shocks. its got no shocks. Someone may have changed out the acel I would think cause the speedo is 10 slow but theres not any shock mounts on the frame. There is a shock mount on the shock mount on the forward and rear side of the axel and nothing on the frame. Please some advice on 2 things. Why the sudden wheel hop?? U-joint maybe?? Also what to do about not having shocks or even shock mounts. Do you think the shock mounts were removed when the dump bed was installed??? Just confused now hahaha!!!! Thats crazy. What to do??
