Arrgh...I hate Ebay. I need those like I need a Toothache but there I am Bidding on them. Somebody put me out of my Misery......

Re: Rare GM race shocks?
 

I need them, so, QUIT bidding on them!! I have the matched rears on a car already. Found them at a local swap meet about four years ago in the same condition.

Re: Rare GM race shocks?
 

I have some spiral drag shocks with Delco part numbers on them, dated '68 or '69! They were too wide at the bottom to fit my lower A-arms though, what to do with them??

Re: Rare GM race shocks?
 

Hey M...reckon they'll fit an A-body? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

Re: Rare GM race shocks?
 

I used to have 90/10s on the front and 50/50s on the back but they sure did'nt look like these. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Re: Rare GM race shocks?
 

Interesting. I've never seen these before. But they look more like drag shocks than road race shocks.

Can we see a pic of what the rear ones look like?

Re: Rare GM race shocks?
 

Sure can Joe. They're on the car I'm taking to Vettefest in November. It would be kinda hard to get a decent pic of them mounted in the car.

Re: Rare GM race shocks?
 

Is this a Chevelle or Camaro you're referring to? Are they chrome plated like these fronts are?

Re: Rare GM race shocks?
 

I thought with the different valves that are interchangable that this setup would have been made for road racing applications.

Do you have instructions for the rear shocks you have?
That should clear up GM's intensions when they produced these.

Re: Rare GM race shocks?
 

'67 Nickey/Thomas Camaro. Yes, they're chrome. The instructions refer to adding oil to provide the different rates, I think form 50/50 to 90/10.

Re: Rare GM race shocks?
 

Does anyone have the complete story on these? Knowing a little about shocks it can't be as simple as adding more oil to adjust the rate. Please fill us in (no pun intended).
