Hi folks, I saw a few 1935 ford with these pair or shock absorber.
Are correct?

Thanks

If you mean 'correct' as in original Ford parts, the answer is no, they are not correct. They are aftermarket shocks not sold by Ford.

They are not correct for the front of a 35. See below the 35 front is to the left and above in the photos below. It is slightly smaller than the 36 and notice the difference in the arm angles.

I had a set of those on a '36 I bought 25 years ago. The seller told me they were early '40's GM shocks. They went away quickly.

I have a set of those that came in a bunch of 34 parts I bought. The brackets that adapts them to ford bolt spacing look too nice to be homemade, must have been an aftermarket business making them
