'72 Highboy shocks?

Anybody have a good source on HD shocks for an old (not to me), 72 Highboy... front & rear... bought the ones from LMC... trucked 'em 1000 miles south of the border, turns out they are about 3/4 size of the factory originals..?? Toy shocks? Not on my old truck...

Good to know, and always a benefit to have a recommendation.

I'm going to post another question about the Saginaw P/S pump, that Ford used for a few years.. and hope you have some info on that one too...

thanks again

As you can see, that's more than just a 'few years.'

Yes amigo, that's quite a few years... I will look at those to see if they are the type of Saginaw pump, that Chebby used, which is the "Canned Ham" shape pump. This should lead me to the factory brackets and perhaps, the factory hoses..?? All the better for repairs in the future, and way easier than the custom / fab method..

Thanks again ND
