Looks like Amazon and/or UPS has some delivery status issues. I ordered 4 shocks for the trusty SS and the last update was for 3 (?) to be delivered next Tues and 1 to be delivered next Thursday and all are being prepped for shipment. The rears were delivered yesterday. I put them (rear pair) on to replace 153,000 mile 14 year old units and the truck sits ~2 inches higher. Way different view from the driver's seat. It'll be a treat to see what the front does. Ride memory is like sound memory; whoa, this is way different.

So the springs are still good?  or does it have springs?

yes, rear leaf springs (torsion front) and i would need to find original dimensions, it's factory lowered. Old shocks still had push/pull resistance just thought it was time. I found the rear bump stops to be missing which is not unusual per the www but since I don't haul or tow, no big deal. Appears that Chevy didn't change the bump stop height on the SS and the factory lowering had them making contact when they shouldn't have.

Yes as Steve said that method is painfully slow.  I had to delete about 12 attachments to post that picture of OT's dream car.

 

There's an option to sort by size, which shows the largest files first.

 

Side note: I just looked through my attachments, and almost half of them show as being uploaded December 31st, 1969?!

It's flooding....dams breaking....will the levees hold?  Wait we don't have levees.  Raining cats and dogs.  Drove over to check on LF's and the sandbags are keeping the garage dry.....so far.  Saw a swan on the side of the road thinking about his options I guess. 

 

Yep someone needs to work on the picture issue......you guys wouldn't want to miss one of my chuck roast or one of Carl's slushies.
