hey guys just went to my local parts store and cant seem to find datsun 1000 ute shockers. the fronts should be the same but im not sure about the rear. can anyone help. even if its a part number?

Utes are probably the same as wagons
Take a pic

Doubt you'll get them either way... take a sample and do extended and compressed lengths
Fronts will probably need mods
I used GTR Torana fronts on mine... modded

I used.. ummm Mini fronts... and 1200 rears.. I think.. sheesh that was a while ago..

I went to super cheap today and had a search through the gabriel shock absorber book.
It had a listing for datsun b10 all models front, Part # 82026
There were no listings for the rear ones.
I have 2 on order for myself, They say it will take around 3 weeks to arrive.
$57.98 each.
Im not to sure if all models b10 covers b20 (ute), But im having a go anyway.

Edit: The gabriel 82026 are nothing like the ones on my 1000.
The super cheap guys are looking into what I may be able to use instead.

And they will be wrong
The Gabrial 82026 have the wrong mount config
Get them to check it now before you wait all this time for the wrong parts
My local supplier has them in stock and I've looked at them before

As for the rear... extended and compressed lengths and a pic of the monutings.. .and I'll find you the right ones

Thanks for the info, Much appreciated.

i like zumba, well only a lady at work that insists on showing us her moves after a zumba class, so i dont really like zumba,

I now have a bit more info on part numbers.
These are the numbers that were stamped into the shock absorbers on my 1000 ute. (The nissan numbers only)

Front: Nissan part # 56110 18000 (KYB Part # 442004) KYB Made the nissan ones.
350mm extended, 220mm compressed.
Measured from the centre of the top mounting bolt to the center of the bottom mounting tags.
The top mounts to a 12mm pin 25mm long, Base mounts to 2 m8x1.25mm bolts 110mm apart (Centre of bolts).































Rear: Nissan part # 56210 15401
440mm extended, 265mm compressed.
Measured from the centre of the bottom mounting bolt to the shoulder that the rubbers press against on the top end.































Other, Front: isuzu part # 8-94454918-2
340mm extended, 225mm compressed.
I am not sure if the top mount has been modified to suit the 1000 on this one, so it would be worth checking before buying any of these.
















Other, Rear: Boge part #: 1-0391-27-482-0
I got a set of these from ebay, I am still waiting so I will post again when I get them to confirm if they fit.

I used Torana ones on mine and made my own solid stainless lower pins

I wonder how many times Gabriel has paid for postage to send those shocks around the world now. I ordered them in too from interstate only to find they were completely different.
From your part number it seems like you could get those front shocks- but you have to learn to speak Russian first:
