[Amc-list] Gabriel "Classic" shocks...

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

Welp, I just called them. A person answered within 4 rings! And
answered actual questions!

Alas that ends the good news. They have zero shocks listed
as available for the 63 American. But AutoZone is their
favored distributor, and the Gabriel catalog there will have
compressed/extended listings, so I will go do the research
there after I pull and measure one. I'm sure I can find one
close enough to work. Did this with my 63 Classic (some Mustang
rear shock fits perfectly).

The 63 American shock is a stud on top, but a rubber bush in
the bottom with special spacers and a fat bolt (it's part of
the lower-arm stiffness). So that could complicate matters. The
shock lower bush does look large. I'm sure I can work something
out even if it means an add-on bracket for an ordinary shock.
