Re: [Chevelle-list] shocks for 65 chevelle???

[Fred Dowaliby]

I have a set of hardly used Bilsteins for a GM A-Body '64-'72 for sale for $100 firm you pay shipping. I had them on my '32 Ford PU which uses a '68 Chevelle frame and chassis. This is a hobby car that never sees weather and hardly gets driven. The rears have about 50 miles on them and the fronts about 1000. They are for sale because the rear were way too stiff for my PU, and I am upgrading to QA1 coilover conversions on the front. The Hotchkis (where I bought them) #s are: AK2070 (front; $84.95/each), and B460929 (rear; $54.95/each).

This is a great deal for anyone who can use these shocks.

If you're interested reply to this msg.

I've tried Monroes, KYBs, Vette Brakes and Products, and Bilsteins. The Bilsteins were 'way better than anything else. Haven't tried Konis, though.
