A buddy of mine is working on a 1937 Chevy Master Deluxe Sedan I bought a few months back and recently he was replacing the front shocks and came out with the shock shown below (see pics)...I've talked to a couple guys that hadn't seen a "dual threaded" shock like this before and suggested I look on the interwebs so I thought this would be a good place to start. Any advice is greatly appreciate. Once the shocks are back on Ol' Bonnie will be running the roads of Oklahoma!
http://www.monroe.com.au/trade-corner/catalogue-search.html scroll down, to the search by compressed and extended length. Select Stud for both ends. I don't know for sure where the lengths are measured from....
Here's a chart that might help. Since it's got a threaded rod on both ends, you'll be looking at S(x) codes for both ends. Example: Monroe 58597 has stems on both ends, might be a little short for your application - I can't read your lengths too well, the old eyes aren't what they used to be. By the way - that's one nice '37 ya got there !!! http://www.shockwarehouse.com/news/load_chart.pdf
I greatly appreciate the help! I've been a H.A.M.B. reader for quite some time and knew it'd be a great resource one of these days! Thanks again
did you find it in the links we provided? if not, I can look in my paper catalog, and see what I can find. Where did you measure those lengths (end of the stud, end of the body, middle of the shank of the stud, or ???)?
have similiar shocks on my 37 Chev , they are 50 Chevy p.u. front shocks if I remember correctly...I used the p.u. lower shock mounts and fab'd the upper mounts...
this MIGHT help---> and wasn't there a stroke length chart somewhere, that helps you pick out the shock that best fits your application...?
I remeasured again this a.m. based on the data you guys have provided and came up with the following: Compressed: 10.5" Extended: 16" I'm going to check the charts when I get a break this afternoon. Thanks again for the help!
