I don't know what listing you have; mine is from Hotchkis several years ago, and your #s are not even shown there. I guess it's possible that they've changed their nomenclature. Anyway, my shocks are AK2070, NOT as you list AK2079. I don't know what application the 2079s are for. My Hotchkis listing for my shocks, which are AK2070, is for front, 64-72 GM A-Body. I used them on my '68 Chevelle chassis and they fit and worked fine.
Likewise, your # AK2080 is not shown on my listing and is not what I have. I have B46-0929, rear, '64-'88 GM A-Body and '77-'90 GM B-Body. I had them on my '68 Chevelle chassis. Other than the fact that they were too stiff for my ultra light PU rear sprung weight, they fit fine.
These shocks are as represented above. They are 100%, and as Dale says, "a heck of a buy". I am only selling them since I am upgrading to the more expensive QA1 coilover conversion and I don't want to store them.

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