Where is a good place to get rebuilt lever shocks for my 40 pickup?
I have am missing a rear one but bot remember what side. The 3 I have need attention.

I have ONE shock that is rebuilt. LR I believe. It was for my 39 Mercury but I never used it. $50.00 and it's yours. You pay shipping.
 
I did really well buying and using used shocks for my Houdaille needs. Takes little time to determine how much they leak. If you have no trouble making a bigger deal out of the shocks, then go for the rebuilts. amazed me how many correct '40 shocks show up at the swaps. I have purchased "rebuilt" units with only modest success. Fun exercise to flush old ones and see how they work. Commonly recommended fluids seem to low viscosity. Big spenders, disregard. Fred A
 
I think I found what I was after.
I got a hold of Andy Falandes. I'm going to send what I have to him. He said he also has cores if mine are not repairable or missing.

Thanks for the help.
 
I sent one out to Andy, great person to talk with ,did what i needed and back home in short order.

I wish there was a swap meet within 300 miles of me.

This is one hole I step into often. Even with the pandemic, I go to a couple of swap meets per month. Safety and decorum has been abandoned in LA county. Probably not two dozen masks out of the 500 in attendance. When the level of crowd and rudeness becomes a problem, I escape. The smaller and more focused club meets are less intimidating. HD Rider and I face quite different worlds. Good Luck: Fred A
