Title: WTB 1940 60S rear shock links
Post by: rbmartin on June 04, 2016, 07:19:48 PM
Hello,
Need rear shock links for my 1940 60 Special. they are 8 1/4" center to center, I think the GM part number is 5313017. Help me stop the clunking!

I think these are what you need.

Jeff, Steve,
Thanks for the replies...In 1941 they went to a 6 1/2" bolt center to bolt center, the '40 was 8 1/4", that eliminates the allcads product. Hagens is reference only (no stock) and Fusick is for an Oldsmobile. At this point may have to buy 2 short ones cut them up, weld them together to make a long one. This is a needle in a haystack search so far.

That seems a good solution to just extend the ones you can get.
