[Fred A]

Let's recall that that Ford added a front sway bar in 1940, which made it harder to just bolt on tube shocks to the front end. With or against this, I have been able to find plenty of cores, correct for the '40 front, and not so many in good working condition for the rear. Not a scientific sampling, but being a thrifty guy, I notice. Of late, I marched the whole Turlock event and found zero shocks. Had I wanted Blue Blocker Sunglasses or other... Depends on your needs or wants. Good Luck: Fred A
