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...?

Re: 65 K10 Shock Absorbers?
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. https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=697060 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.
