Bilstien Shock ?
I would like to put Bilstien shocks on my 67 F250 but the earliest year I'm able to find is 1980, does anybody know if late model shocks will work on early model trucks ?

Very important note: 2wd or 4wd? What is the top stud and eye bolt size? What is the length needed from center of mount to center of mount? Check the Bilstein technical catalog for this info and find one that will fit at full suspension droop (full length), and one that is not too short at full compression.l The 80 listing might still work if you compare its specs to what you have.

A note on KYBs... the Gas-Adjust are stiffer than the GR2 series and, contrary to the name, the GA series are not adjustable. The GR2s aren't as stiff but are a significant improvement from stock Gabriels or Monroes. Have the GAs on my 65 and their a tad too stiff... going with GR2s when I get around to it... much rust to abate right now.
I've run Bilsteins since the early 80s on everything from my autocross racecars to my current 01 S'Crew and 71 Pontiac. Love'em.
