Where to get upper shock mounting bolts/pins?
« on: July 03, 2009, 08:54:42 pm »
I finally got the old ones off, but busted one in the process.  Where can I get some fresh bolts/pins (or whatever the proper name for them is) that bolt the upper end of the rear shocks to the frame?  Advanced Auto had a "one size fits all" kind of bolt, but it looked a little small in diameter compared to the one I took out.  I would like to go with the proper size replacement.

The truck is a '79 K10 shortbed.

I'm guessing a local dealer _may_ have them, but they've been pretty disappointing when it came to carrying older stuff for these trucks so I'm not counting on it.

Thanks all.

Most reputable parts stores they come with the new shocks.

if you have a napa around you could probably go there and buy just the stud

Sweet.  Thanks guys, I never even considered that part might come with the shocks.  I'll need 4 new ones down the road when I've got the body swap done, so that's the route I'll go with.

Thanks again!
