Can anyone id what year/car/truck these houidalles fit? I thought they were 41, but they do not fit the rear of my 41 fordoor because of the offset bolt pattern. Thanks for any help.

Based on a look at my car, some extra '40 parts and the Green Book, I'm going to guess that they are '36 - '40 passenger car and '41 sedan delivery rear shocks. The ones with the 7 3/4" arms are like the ones on my '40. The ones with the shorter arms might be earlier ('35-'36).

It would be helpful to know the letters & numbers embossed on the side of the lever arms (as examples 'F-881' or 'F-745'). Based on the offset mounting flanges/bolt hole configurations and longer arms (i.e., >7") these all appear to be rear shocks. Steve This message was edited by len47merc on 9-9-14 @ 5:45 AM

The short arm shocks are 37-39 and the long arm are 40-48. The body of the shock seemed to be the same size, for what I measured, but I was told the early shock body is smaller and the mounting holes for the early are 4" apart, so I was told. But as I measured all four the mounting holes were all 4 3/8". All mounting holes were off set which is right for rear shocks. The arms are number stamped and any rebuild shop can tell you what the #s relate to. I hope this helps everyone at least a little bit.
