shocks& hub caps

[DavidRSmith]

I am working on a 39 six the shocks seem to need a rebuild,are there rebuild kits,or any information on what to do to get them back in shape.Also the tabs that bolt on wheels to hold the small hup caps where can these be found?

Can't help with the hub cap tabs question, but I can report I had my front shocks rebuilt two years ago by Apple Hydraulics and, while they weren't cheap, they did a good job. My car is a 1950, but I believe Apple can handle your shocks, as well. They sent me a set of rebuilt shocks and required that I give them a deposit that they refunded when they received my old shocks. I was happy to do things this way because it meant less time in the shop for the car and more time on the road!

Here is a URL for them:

You might also want to get a quote from Five Points in California.

They rebuilt mine this past winter and I am satisfied completely with the work and the quick, courtious and efficient manner of how they do business. I also can't hep with the hubcap tabs but if anyone will have them it wil be Max Merritt or Kanter. I see Merrit has them on their online catalogue.

I also HIGHLY recommend Five Points. They did mine last year and they're perfect.
