Re: modern shock upgrade
Hopefully the future owner will be my son who is currently 11 years old. To close this thread, I decided to go with the Ken Davis kit. Sent him the check and just waiting for it to arrive!
Thanks...

Re: modern shock upgrade
I stand corrected...'change over to modern tube shocks' should be the title. Although I'd like originals, it wouldn't be worth the cost for me...a restored vehicle, definitely yes!

Re: modern shock upgrade
So, it sounds like the oil filled shocks are preferred. Are Ken Davis's shocks oil filled? Other vendors with oil filled shocks?
