Re: What are these inside "NOS" cluster gear?

If large enough, those look to be for the post war common jeep T 90 tranny.

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...

Should have clarified Master Cylinder...I did check the site but didn't see anything so was wondering IF there was something I was missing. How did those of you with his kits order them?

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?

Re: modern shock upgrade

So, I guess the debate between gas filled vs. oil filled needs to be entered into the equation. Who has experience with them both?

If drilling required, what is the easiest? Don't want to deal...
