curtavanti64 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 Hi everyone, I am a new member and bought a 64 Avanti last September. I have bought KYB gas shocks for the front but can't seem to find gas shocks for the rear.. All the Auto parts stores have no listing for an Avanti. And the 'cross reference' lists on other Stude sites haven't been helpful.... What are your recommendations? Thanks for the feedback and helping a new guy out here. Curt

Same as the Type "A" shock in the 55-58 parts book, the ones with out the metal sleeves. Use a propane torch to heat up the rubber bushings and press the sleeves out of old shocks / fit them to the new shocks. The new shocks do come with a metal sleeve in the box but it appeared to be too short for the GT Hawk. dpson1954@adelphia.net July 2005 ----------------------- July 2005 SHOCK - C/K 1955 (Gabriel 80260) ( appear to be a direct fit, BUT you must save the "sleeves" from your old shocks.

tsterkel Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 check out http://www.sterkel.org/avanti/ Note that the datum that was confirmable by direct contact with the "home office" of a manufacturer, is in GREEN. Stuff not confirmable is in black. the other web sites had a lot of unconfirmable data.
Gunslinger Posted July 10, 2006 Report Posted July 10, 2006 (edited) Doing some research for shocks I found the following applications...some have already been listed. I'm only listing what I found as front and rear complete sets. The numbers come from their websites and should fit all Avanti's from '63 through '85 on the original Studebaker frame. Gabriel Classic front 82087 rear 82103 Delco front 520-332 rear 520-338 Edited July 10, 2006 by Gunslinger
