Re: CCKW shock absorber oil
It would be advised to use the lightest weight hydraulic oil you can find. I.E., I.S.O. 10. I once used 30 weight motor oil in my front shocks on my 1st. Chevy, bad idea. The ride was so stiff it was like I driving Fred Flintstones' car.
I was on my way to a show and over 150 miles from home when my psychosis told me that there was something was wrong the front shocks. Turned out that it was just a really bad stretch of Interstate 5 somewhere above Buttonwillow Ca.
So I had to disconnect the torque arms until I reached my destination, Camp Roberts. I then pulled the shocks, emptied them out and used transmission oil until I got home and had to do ALL over again.
