suspension intechange?

Lazlobassett · 04-14-2008, 07:44 AM

I was looking for shocks for my '62 Super 88 and there don't seem to be any listings for it ( aside from Kanter & fusick's hollywood priced parts) I see there are listings for Impalas of the same year, anyone know if they are the same? I see that Napa online lists 'normal' shocks for 24. ea and I think that would do just fine.

I've been riding the 88 this last week, it is GREAT to be able to hop in and not worry about getting pulled over for not wearing a seat belt! ( that actually happens here in New Jersey)

Cheers!

You might be able to find some at NAPA if you go in and have a guy look up the part in the book. Other than that your only option would be Fusicks or Kanter. Both these places have excellent customer service. The prices are just something you have to deal with. I know the feeling. I drive a 64 98.

You could also try calling Fusick or Kanter and ask them for some part number information on those shocks you need. I bet you dollars to donuts that shocks off of an Impala will not fit. Sorry.
