I have a pair of spiral Delco shocks that have the number 5513700 on them. I've had them so long I don't recall what vehicle they were for but it may have been pickup from the '50's.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Neil

I looked in my 1929-1957 parts and accessories catalog, that number wasn't listed.

The closest ones I found were 5513851 for 39-40 JB and KB front shocks. Also 5513193 for 1957 series 3C 3D 3F front.

Sorry I couldn't help more.

The shocks were also stamped S 174, and this was actually the number.
Chrysler '38-50 exc. C24,27,33,37,40,47,50

DeSoto '38-50

Plymouth '38-50.

They are front shocks.
