If you can find the F-41 shocks, good luck, and if you do, hope you have deep pockets.

The GM part numbers are replacement shocks.

The original GM F-41 shocks haven't been available from GM for decades, and the part numbers in the GM parts book are different than the part number stamped on the original production shocks; the service part numbers are different, as they describe the shock, a hardware kit, and a box.

The NCRS judging guide has the part number stamped on the shock (and the dating convention) - that's the number you're looking for. You'll have to keep your eyes open for them on eBay or in the NCRS "Driveline" classifieds; they're very expensive.

wow...I wonder what price I can get for my rear shocks...

[Easy Mike]

$1500.00?!

I believe I would have to take the points deduction until I won the lottery.
