Mark,
  I just replaced front shocks on both my vans in
November.  It is very straight forward.  Tom C.'s
procedure is very complete, I think it took about 30
minutes to change both front shocks.  You do NOT need
a spring compressor, you don't even have to touch the
springs. It was easier on my '84 since it sits higher,
I didn't even have to jack it up.


Have fun...
