Wheelhop Feb 3rd, 06, 7:03 PM Gentlemen, I've got a set of dated rear shocks for my 69 Chevelle. My question is, does anybody know if these can be rebuilt and if so where? Thank you in advance, Jim Wheelhop Feb 3rd, 06, 11:27 PM Want to keep this post alive! Futwa Feb 4th, 06, 4:55 AM I know koni can revalve shocks but it's kinda pricey, just an option i'm sure other manufactures rebuild as well. CDN SS Feb 4th, 06, 9:13 AM Yes they can be rebuilt ,common practice in the 50's and 60's but doubt you will find anyone now who does it. Wheelhop Feb 4th, 06, 10:22 AM Thanks, guys. Derek69SS Feb 4th, 06, 11:13 AM I bet if you asked in the "Restoration" forum here on TC, they'd be able to help you out. I have heard of people rebuilding date-coded shocks, and those guys would know where to have it done better than the guys in here, as most of the traffic in here is from people looking to modify/improve their suspension. elkymga Feb 4th, 06, 7:56 PM Yes. Try Apple Hydraulics located in Calverton N.Y. They usually have an add in Hemmings if you need the address and phone number. Good luck. Wheelhop Feb 4th, 06, 10:06 PM Yes.

Good luck. thanks, I'll look them up and give them a call Wheelhop Feb 6th, 06, 8:55 PM Got a hold of Apple Hydraulics in Calverton, NY. They only rebuild a different type of shocks but they gave me a guy in Colorado to call. His number is [800] 344-1966. He can refurbish the outside of a spiral shock, the rubber bushings, etc. and then repaint them, but he can't do anything with the internals. I could then use them for showing the car and then put a newer shock back on when I want to go to the track! Thanks again for your guys help. Jim | ||
