Any advice on how to find those replacements or what their dimensions are? I have a cobble job that I am not entirely happy with. Thanks for any advice you can give. 1937 Master DeLuxe Business Coupe 1954 3100 5-Window 1954 Corvette

The usually have a set on the shelf done to exchange. Not sure what the warranty period is, but he was very friendly and gave some good advice. Will let you know if I decide to go with them. Thanks, Todd Also on Chevytalk I found a great article on rebuilding the shocks,(not the one that Maxine and PatS are referring to either. Thanks all.
