  I have a pair of what I believe are Houdaille shocks. On the back plates are the marking "P 1932 S"

Can anyone identify what vehicle they go to?

Thanks

  Pictures here would help. You could also contact Bill Wzorek on Fordbarn for help with ID.

  To identify shocks the size of the round body? The location of the mounting holes? The description of the center part of the shock where the shaft extends through? Is the shock arm press on or is it bolted on? So a few photos are necessary.

  They are front shocks mid '39 - 47. If you want it narrowed down further, I need to know the diameter of the body. A diameter of 2 7/8" were used through most of 1941. After that 3 1/4".
Any markings on the arm?
That "1932" on the back of the shock merely identifies the casting core. It will be of little use in identifying the shock application.

  Body is approx. 3-1/4". Mounting holes are 4-3/8" center-to-center. Arm mounting holes are 6" c-c.
No markings on the arms that I can see.

Thanks

  Anyone know of anyone who rebuilds shocks ? If you do kindly let me know at liphook@i-zoom.net
