Hey guy's I'm in the process of gathering all the parts I need as I'm replacing my drivetrain and suspension. I already bought front and rear Bilstein shocks and I've run into a problem. I'm removing the iso junk from the rear end as I'm replacing the leaf springs and swapping to an 8 3/4 rear as well. I welded washers into the large holes in the perches on my 8 3/4 rear and I ordered a set of son iso shock plates. I was looking at my early non iso shock plates and decided to test fit the Bilstein shocks onto them. Is the shock mount stud thinner on the 73 than the earlier b body's ? The rubber bushing on the bottom of the shock fits on the stud but definitely does not if I have to use the metal sleeves that go inside the shock. I'm not sure if the metal sleeves are required or not.
