Bilstein shocks are awesome. I have'em in my 01 S'crew and 71 Pontiac. My 70 Bumpside is gonna get a set too. Btw, go for the HD series or the 5100s as they are more compliant than the Sport series... them will loosen your fillings and beat yer kidneys to a pulp.
Yeah, they tends not to have anything listed for 79 and earlier trucks. Ya might have to measure full droop, full compression, and match the corresponding specs a set of their shocks with the correct mounting style (eye or loop vs bayonet). Aim for either 60/40 or 40/60 (compression vs rebound) depending on your planned usage.
Once you figure out the PNs, I suggest ordering the shocks from shockwarehouse.com... reasonable prices and fast shipping.

They're bullet proof little diesels, my 2.2 is slowly closing in on half a million miles on the original engine.
