Hey John, thanks for reaching out!
What is the weight rating and lengths (extended and compressed) for your shocks/struts? We have replacement ones like the Gas Strut # 372-4983-35 which is rated for 35 lbs of force and measures 12.2" Extended and 8.66" Compressed. You'll need to compare this to your current shock/strut to see if it will work as I don't have a listing for what you have on your 1997 Chevy S-10 cover.

Hey John, were you able to compare the measurements on your S-10 cover shocks to the ones I mentioned? Knowing what matched up could help others trying to replace their cover struts too.
