Hi everyone, I'm struggling to identify the shocks I really need from 2000 miles from my truck.
1983 K30, 10k GVW, stock springs
All the configurators I find say this truck should take the same as the 1/2 tons by length, but that doesn't check out in my mind.
I just need a set of simple shocks to get the truck back on the road for a while before I do more. More might mean a bunch of things, so I'm thinking Monroe, KYB, etc but not $100 at a pop Bilsteins or others. I'm on the hunt because I pulled a 4" lift off of it and put the stock ride height springs in it, now those shocks are bottomed out.
Does anyone have any insight into part numbers or a reliable place to go find the right stuff?
Thanks

I bought a couple from National Carburetor, not bad pricing.

Hey guys, I haven't posted in a while. My truck has been running fine and I haven't done any real upgrades or repairs since my last post.
I though I would check back in since my Sniper dropped dead. It's out of warranty and my only options for it are to send it in for a rebuilt ecu or buy sniper II.
The first option is cheaper obviously but I don't think I want another Sniper I.
Another option is to go back to a carb. That is not a cheap option either. It's actually just as expensive as a Sniper II with a lot more work.
I'm just trying to stay ahead of all these bills that keep coming in and squirrel some money away for the repair.
I hope you guys are well. Happy Holidays.

Shifty- You're right about them being King. If you follow BaT, the prices they're fetching are heartwarming. Doubt it's a bubble like VW's. Squares Rule!!!

Check the filler neck rubber hose for kinks or obstructions or being installed upside down. Check the vent hoses and vent caps for obstructions. Make sure the tank hasn't been partially collapsed from an impact. Is it possible that the molded fill neck hose was replaced at some point with one having the wrong configuration?

Put my square box on ice for a while. My CJ7 project has been eating up my time and wallet. Used to be when you ran into a pard the question would be "what are you working on" now it's crickets. As far as I'm concerned 73-87 square box chevies are king. I'm looking at my1979 short bed now and could use some advice about an emissions issue. The stock emissions canister is long gone and gas fill ups are a slow go. Let me tell you about the truck It's a 1979 short bed originally a k10 duel fuel the emissions nipples are vented to caps like on a axle or tranny vent like I have read they did with the 1 tons in the day. The gas caps are vented. The return lines are capped. It has a mechanical fuel pump with no return line fitting. I had a 1980 square box with the emissions nipple capped on the tank and could fill it up as fast as the pump would pump it so I don't get it! I'm making sure the pump is inserted and pointed away from and below the vent tube on the filler pipe. Still it pukes gas unless I just dribble it in.

Made it home with her. Long ride, had a couple issues but made it home ultimately. I have been constantly looking out my window at her.
