mribbich@wi.rr.com Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 The end caps should have 4 digit number and a letter. Marv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a sell Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Where we store our cars there is the remains of a 1930 6-14 Durant. It has double action shocks that look like those. Chevrolet shocks were single action for many more years. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viv w Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 The shocks are known as a Delco 1 and they were used on 35/6 Auburn, 35 to 38 Buick, 36 Cadillac model 60, some 36/7 Cords, 35/6 La Salle, 35/8 Olds, some 35/7 Packard, 37/46 Pontiac front. That is according to an old "motors repair manual" I have. While the shock mechanism may have been used on all of the above cars, you have to bear in mind that the arm design will probably differ from make to make. I have rebuilt 4 Auburns and the arms on their shocks looked identical to the ones you have. Sadly I no longer own the Auburns, but I would suggest you contact Curti on this forum for confirmation.

Kean Thompson Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Just double checked and the four shocks in the photo are the four the I provided serial numbers for. In that process, I did find some very different ones that I think are Packard - maybe 31-33 era, If they were 1930 or earlier, I'd recognise them. I'll get a couple of photos tomorrow.
