I can barely see the 2nd one hiding under.My '87 V1500 doesn't have dual shocks. I don't recall any of those trucks coming with a dual setup from the factory but that doesn't mean they didn't.
Why do you only have one leaf spring? Those trucks came with two leaf springs on the front.
You know that in '87 they were no longer K10? 2wheel drives were Rs and 4wheel drives were Vs.
Yup 87 mixed up new letters. Thanks for the info. Looks like 2 springs to me. Im going toMy '87 V1500 doesn't have dual shocks. I don't recall any of those trucks coming with a dual setup from the factory but that doesn't mean they didn't.

That why I was wondering. I dont want to buy something thats not a normal K10 V10 1500 kinda thing. Im not familiar with all this 4x4 stuff. The guy wants $1800 for this so thats not chump change to lose if it dont fit LOLMy 78 has dual shocks but there an add on. I was going to take half off because I think it might ride better? If there riveted on I'd say original for sure.
Ok so they are factory. Was there a reason. Heavy Duty frame? or suspension? Im just trying to
understand here.
If I remember right, GM cut the shock valving in half on the dual shock shocks, so it would take longer to heat up the oil in them while off roading.
My 84 came factory that way, but its hard to find aftermarket shocks that have the reduced valving (may not be the proper word) and putting 2 aftermarket shocks on each side usually makes for a harsh ride.
