I am confused on which shocks to use on my 48 Ford.
A few Threads have listed NAPA # 94008 for front and
NAPA 94038 for rear.
When looking on line NAPA lists 94038 for front and NAPA # 94008 in the rear. Can anyone stragihten me out on this?? THANKS
 
Napa could, they have the catalog... I have the boxes for the rear, they're the 94008- I marked them at the place... They difference is the travel length, I beleive... Karl
 
I checked the Napa site and they list the below info on the shocks. The difference is the 94008 rear shock is slightly longer. You should take some measurements and make sure these will fit and that the shock is somewhere near the center of its travel when at ride height. Make sure the vehicle will bottom out before the shock does or it will break the shock or shear off the mounting bolts. You could also remove your shocks and take some measurements and see if they match up with Napa’s specifications.
