Shocks
 

Looking for reasonably priced shocks, arms, and links for my '29

Do you get around much to swap meets in the are that you choose not to reveal? Reasonable is a regional thing. Thoughtful response would be more reasonably focused where location is known. Good Luck: Fred A

Re: Shocks
 

Possibly try some people who rebuild them?


Not sure what you mean by reasonable, cheap ones are cheap because they do not function and need rebuilding, sometimes they are not rebuildable. Sometimes you need twice as many to get one good set.


One rebuilder is John Holland, older guy, had mine rebuilt by him, happy with the job he did. Out of Ohio. Very good guy to get info from too, willing to spend a few minutes with you on the phone. phone 330 483 3896


Another option is to convert to standard style shocks if not concerned about judging/authenticity.

Authentic, functional, and accurate to your cars build date are probably as expensive as the reproduction shocks now made, just harder to find.
It will take you a few years to find the originals, imho.
Try Mr. Holland as mentioned.

What do you mean, John Holland is an older guy? We are just "well seasoned."
Trust John, he knows his stuff!

:) LOL, Yeah, I kinda messed up there, meant it in a good way. Meant it as "well seasoned" and "knows his stuff" as you point out. No worries.
