Kimeccles, I think those shock bodies could be of value to someone trying to do a correct restoration. Someone like Andy Falandes in Massachusetts,who rebuilds these type of shocks would be one of your best source of informative on the questions you are asking here..... in my opinion.

This is the contact info I have for him in my files:

Only if they are 2 7/8" diameter bodies. If they are 3 1/4", nearly worthless.

I had recently sold a pair of NOF front shocks, concourse correct, in the boxes for $250.
This stuff is losing value seemingly by the day.
And, how many guys are doing proper restorations these days?
