Where do I find new shocks for a 1960 Buick Lesabre

1960 Lesabre on the road again after years, but I can't find front shocks anywhere. I've googled, searched on here, called all parts stores, and still no luck. Gettin desperate, help please. Thanks, Wiley

 

If you have the measurements and what the ends are they can cross it over for you! and get the shock!!!!

 

Try here.

That's weird. I just checked online through the NAPA website via the shop I work at. They don't even list them for the front although they do list rears.

I guess I'd just take the old ones out, bring them to the parts store and try to match some up.

i can find em for my 60 pontiac no problem, so not sure why you cant. if you REALLY can't find em,,,pull on off, measure it compressed and extended, then head to the parts store and ask to look through the book.

 

How about KANTER's ?

 

when you get the compressed and extended numbers be sure to remember what the ends are. there is a loop style, a stud, a bolt-thru plate type, and a couple others.

it would **** to get the right size and not be able to attach them to anything.

 

You can't just match these up at the parts store, the bottom mount is super wide. Not like any shock I've seen available at the parts store.

 

Thanks, but they just offer rears.

 

super wide?? how so? is it a flat bar extending from the eye with 2 bolt holes? probably a straight threaded rod on the top??

 

Worst case, fab an adapter for the mount.

 

I checked my old 1976 TRW ch***is parts catalog and it doesn't show front shocks for 59 or 60 Buicks either. You may be spending a lot of time searching through the shock catalogs with your measurements.

if you can't find them elswhere, check these ebay listings. prices seem fair

 

On the Byooik, I used the shocks for a 69 bigblock Camaro. Some extra big washers, they work fine.

 

Just went threw this just get front shocks for a 61 lesabre oriellys had them in stock, they fit right on my 60 lesabre
