Re: 1939 ford deluxe sedan rear shocks
I’d take the shock off and bring it to your most trusted parts store, they should be able to match it up with something.

X2 on taking them to a good trusted parts store. If no one can help come back here and send me a PM with your extended and compressed length of your old shock(center to center of the mounting points) and I may be able to help.

jstrez When I took ownership of my 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible in 2021, it had no tube shocks on the rear but it did have tube shocks on the front. I ordered from Bob Drake the following kit: HR-18000-K; 1935-40Car & 1935-41 PICKUP REAR SHOCK & ANTI-SWAY KIT. PRICE WAS $229.75 I had a Muffler/Shock shop install it for me as he had to reroute the exhaust pipe to clear the shocks. I did not have the anti-sway bar installed. I ordered the kit because I needed one shock mount from the kit plus some hardware. I am sure that they will sell only the shocks which will save a few coins. And your tail pipe will probably not need modification like mine. Hope this helps

Re: 1939 ford deluxe sedan rear shocks
Napa auto parts listed 1948 shocks- a few years ago.
The chassis are real similar. Karl |

Re: 1939 ford deluxe sedan rear shocks
Not sure about this but try to match the weight of the car to the shock otherwise you could end up with a very stiff ride.
