Shock Recommendations

I need to replace the shocks on my dent.... its a 79 2wd 302 truck. I used it mostly for work and hauling. Currently it is running NAPA Fleet shocks that I installed years back when I acquired it. I liked how they worked in the application, but I still wanted to see what you guys were running on your rigs and what your recommendations were before I got replacements.

I prefer Monroe shocks, but that's just me.

Monroe's are good shocks. I have also had pretty good luck with KYB's, had them on my last two rigs and have a set to install on my 76 F250 2wd sitting at home right now.

I know I can probably get Monroe's from advance. I am thinking sensatrac there... but on the KYBs, what part number and line did you use for the KYBs... I think they have a couple options.
