My other truck is Red which is bone stock factory 4x4. Super Blue is the dream truck I am building... I need a white one to fill out the patriotic theme!

Thank you I agree its looking very shiny. My goal to have it on the road and useable minus some finishing touches (such as headliner) is March 31 2021.

I missed your question before. I have Monroe OE Spectrum shocks on the front. The rear was much harder to line up because the ones NAPA ordered first were too short because they don’t list 1960 4x4’s...

I put KYB on the back. Can't you get almost any brand if you cross them over? I just need standard but decent quality shocks. What are you looking for exactly?

What`s the story on the red truck in the back ground?
Unfortunately it'll be a few more moths before mine come out of storage.

That is another very sweet ride! It's -29 C with a -34 C wind chill which keeps me mostly house bound.

That explains why we always saw so many Canadians in Arizona in the winter.

I would prefer KYB or Gabriels. I wasn't able to cross them over in the past searches I have done. Mine being 2W may be a different length the your 4W. The last front shocks I bought from a guy at a swap meet that only deals in shocks, they weren't labeled and came in and came in plain tan boxes. They have been on there 20 years are are just now starting to go out.. Thats 20X longer then the previous Monroes I had . I have KYB and Gabriels on all my other cars..
