Hello all.  I have a 350 chev diff on my van and I wanted to change all the shocks over what shocks would I use for the diff end .. The front end is still the original Bedford ones but just lil confused with the back end as they Are different to the standard Bedford ones .. Cheers kyle

fairly big job to change back to original springs on your van. id try get that engineered or make it look original and try slip it under the radar.
even if you did change it back to orig youd still need it to be engineered. because its been modded..

What exactly is a 350 chev diff?
Are we talking a 10 or 12 bolt that is often found behind a 350 chev? or some sort of motor that has been converted to operate as a diff?

In terms of shocks, you can go for anything from monroe or pedders upto bilstein or koni
Easiest way is to take the shocks out and take them into a suspension shop so they can match the height and connection types
