No clue on if the shocks would work, and I have to agree with 68...get new ones, cheap ones ate only like 20 each or so.

it depends on the drop you end up with you dont want the shocks to bottom out. ya gotta remember ur truck is heavier than the elcamino and will sit a lil lower. you might need to get shocks for a lowered truck

Since it is a 70, you might get lucky and only need axle shafts and drums.
Do you know what month your truck was built? |
