Default Shock/arms/Links 32

Im thinking about running Houdailles on the rear of my Coupe and wanted to know if anyone..

2) is there supposed to be a rubber in the dog bone connector? and if so who has them?

As always.. Thanks guys.. Tom

Tom,

Here's a start:

1. http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/shockidentification.htm

http://www.streetrodderweb.com/tech/...cks/index.html

2. Rubber balls are in the bones, a lot of the repo companies carry them.

Hope these help.

Keep V-8ing and 4-banging!

Wanted, lower side sections of 32 radiator cowl.

With respect, that's a '33 front shock arm labeled as a '32 in your photo.

This is what DavidG pointed out . B-18047 on top & 40-18047 on the bottom . They take the same dogbone but as you can see they are way different . The 32 shock mounts on the outside of the frame and 33 sits inside . Yes the question is about rears and this is front stuff but a pic helps clarify things . David J

OOPS!!! Thanks Dave and Dave. I do know the difference, that's what I get for just looking at it from one angle.
