Does anybody sell reproduction REAR spiral shocks for a 1970 Chevelle ? I removed an original set but they were leaking and dont think i could use them.
I have looked in several catelogs but have not found any -
What do you use for a correct resto ?
Thanks -

I bought mine from Hinshaw's. Be careful, some of the shocks that are listed for Chevelles are for Camaros, and are too short for the Chevelle.

Thanks for the info, i will call Ground Up for them.. I was hoping National Parts or Ecklers would have them , but no luck..
Would you save the original date coded ones that came on the car even though they're no good ?

Definatly save the originals. They are dated and even worth a little even if they arent any good. No one rebuilds them as I know but maybe someday someone will.
I may even be interested in them.
