Hello,

Can anyone tell me, based upon the following numbers, what applications/years a couple of shock absorbers fit? They are supposed to be 30's Chevrolet:

Delco # 5302329
On top of the cover # 5519695, 2105Y, 4054

The arm has 5331048

I couldn't find these in the 1929-1948 Chevrolet parts book.

Thanks!

(P.S. I don't have these shock absorbers, but am considering buying them--going by the description someone gave me)

Thanks for the quick reply. The information is much appreciated. I have a 36 Standard, so it doesn't look like these will work. Which is too bad, because these are supposed to be NOS shocks. And probably are, since they still have Delco paper stickers with some of these numbers on them.

If anyone is interested, these shocks are on ebay. The auction ends soon (16 hours)--item number 2469453553.

shocks

how many different shock numbers were available in this era, anyway?..I'm assuming some different valving or arm lengths?..are we talking a few, dozens, or hundreds?..
