they are replacement for the F41 from what I understand. dad has them on both of his 67's. best you can do for judging without spending big money for originals.

I put a set on my '73 LS4 about four years ago. Big improvement over the worn out replacement shocks that you would expect.

Worked fine, no problems.

They came painted black so I had to paint them and get some broadcast code stickers to put on.

A NCRS judge told be there is a small inverted embossment on the shock that says "Made in Mexico" I never have seen it or I would have addressed it before painting. I will probably just rotate the shock around so it is difficult to see and read.

Alright then, sounds like a decent choice for a replacement.

Thanks,

I put a set on my 74' some years ago. I am happy with them and they did improve the ride.

The new Delco shocks ain't worth a crap for judging purposes. I remember buying a set around 2004 from ebay. Came in with nice fake huge Decals saying AC Delco.
Then they were heavily stamped "Made in Mexico".
So I dragged them around at the Carlisle shows about a dozen times or so as they helped keep my sons vendor tables from blowing away.
Finally I sold them at a loss and was happy about it.
