Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

Do you have a part number for the gas-a-just front shocks you're running with the porterbuilt front shock extenders??

I think you are meaning front shock relocators? Here is the part number it is KYB-KG5474. Buy them from rockauto they have the best price on them.

Shock stud mounted on LCA. This stud did not come with control arms that will have to be purchased separate from your local parts store. I will be pressing the ball joint in today!

Wow I totally wouldn't have guessed they were from a Toyota. I do think you mentioned that earlier in your build. Thanks for narrowing it down.

Are the rear Gas-a-just shocks just stock length for a C10?

Oh really? I have about a 6" rear drop and plan to run shock extenders. I saw a couple pages back that you have them too. I thought the point of the extenders was to run stock-ish shocks. My rear end rides like crap right now, the shocks are damn near horizontal. I'm lookin to stiffen it up and the gas-a-just seem the way to go. How do you like the ride in the rear with the extenders/shocks you just mentioned.
