Set of 4 shocks and arms need info
I took this set of 4 shocks off a 1930 Model A, but I think they are from a V8 series in the 1930's? Looking for info on what they go on and what would be a fair selling price? Pair of arms are F-872 and F-937.
I bought a set of Stipes, so these can go to a new home. Thank you for any information.

Re: Set of 4 shocks and arms need info
They appear to be front shocks from a 1940 Ford passenger car. Body diameter?
The arms most certainly appear to have been heavily modified. Are the balls welded to the arms?

Re: Set of 4 shocks and arms need info
The arms have been heated and bent for the Model A application. Not much value IMO.Hot Rodder might want them?

Re: Set of 4 shocks and arms need info
Thanks for identifying these. I see now the arms are bent for the Model A fit. Are the shock bodies of any value for 1940 collector? Two were tested and adjusted to a Model A spec. for damping.

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?

Re: Set of 4 shocks and arms need info
Those are more scarce than the service parts of 3 1/4". Might have some value.
