Re: [Amc-list] 63 American front shock part number, for the record...

Matt,

Several years ago, when I dismantled my low mileage
(3600 miles) 66 Rambler the front shocks had a brand
name on them.  As I remember it was DEICO.  I thought
it could have been Delco bit that third letter looked
more like an "I" than an "L".   Anyway, I think I have
it in my notes somewhere.   I'll look for my notes.
