A100 Shocks

Hi All,

Tried a search but didn't find much?


Can anybody recommend new shocks for an A108? - Links would be great to summit/ebay?

- Are the fronts and rears the same or different?


Summit list these, are they any good?

Also my van came with the top shock absorber bolt missing  
What size is it, where would be best to get another online?

I bought KYB shocks for the front and rear, I will see if I can find my numbers later today.

I went with NAPA, will try to do the same.

from what I've found. Front shock aren't much of a problem. But rear shock, are hard to find.

Thank you chaps

Part no's would be ace,

- so front/rear are different? (Different lengths? - not had mine off)

Rockauto.com  I looked at 1965 dodge a100
Gabriel 81469/ $14.47 front
Monroe 31131/ $14.88 front
ACDelco 509612/ $28.79 front HD
the only rear listed was Gabriel 82065 (out of stock, good luck , but at least you've got some part numbers .)  the above fit 1964-1970 A100/A108 . fronts and rears are different. Also if look at the shocks that are on you vehicle. Most have a part number stamped into them.

I believe these are the rears? NAPA 94083, as my other receipt has for the fronts 94050, I think both numbers are for the "heavy duty" shocks. If you have the old ones, you can take them and have them measured for compressed and extended lengths and use a compatible shock, they have a X-reference chart, That's what they did at NAPA!

Here are Gabriel Shock Part numbers I used ten years ago,Good Luck!
Front 82064   Rear 82065

Thank you guys,

I ordered

82065 Gabriel rear - currently out of stock but will deliver from supplier.... Hopefully!
81469 Gabriel front

Both from summit, I'll let you know how they compare with the originals and how I get on.

Steve,

Keep checking E-Bay for the rears, The Fronts are available

If you add 2" lift blocks to the rear for that 70s look I use front shocks in the rear as well as the front.

Gabriel 82065 (rear) is available on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Shock-Absorber-Classic-GABRIEL-82065-fits-53-60-Dodge-Truck-/261985310427?hash=item3cff8a96db:g:BQQAAOSwu4BVuatx&vxp=mtr

Ironically it's carried by Autozone's ebay store, but N/A through Autozone website..


BTW, Rock Auto lists Gabriel 81469 as a REAR shock. Might want to confirm the part numbers you ordered?

I need new shocks as well...
