Does anyone have any period photos or measurements for these Shock's
Mark,
Thanks for sharing the catalog information but the 1963-65 Cobra (leaf spring chassis) units made during the manufacturing period are not stamped with the identification numbers you have posted above. The catalog page shows two sets of numbers, the current at time of publication numbers and under that another set of numbers in parenthesis. The text listed in parenthesis correlate with what was actually stamped on the bodies of assemblies. If you are going hunting based on part numbers you probably need find samples of exactly what you want and determine what part numbers were stamped into them and if different than what is in your catalog quote both new and old part numbers.
Dan

Samples of identification text as exhibited on original Cobra production units during the CSX24xx chassis range are below:

Rear sample:

TYPE AT9/GS 215 8


Front sample:

TYPE A.T.9/ 2 7 98
