Does anyone have shock numbers and brand for front shocks for a 51 hornet?
Thanks

    Some notes from my book, John:

    37237 Sensa Trac
    37156 ST's
    Napa #5804 Sensa- Trac
    Monroe 3008
    48-54 Chevy or 52-56 Ford, which is Monroe #1067 or Delco Ep-1029
    Napa 5751
    Heavy Duty -3008
    53-62 Corvette

    Now I've muddied up the waters by posting too many choices!  These are all ones I've made notes from previous postings.  You have to remember that even though a shock will bolt up, it's extension length and compression length may not be exactly right for a Stepdown.  In other words, just because it bolts up, doesn't mean it's going to work properly.

    For what it's worth, WRP (Wildrick Rubber Parts) sells complete sets or pairs for front or rear only (easiest option).  I've heard more times than not, that Gabriel shocks are the worst option as far as QC goes and Sensa-Tracs are the best option.

    Sorry, above numbers came out weird, but work well on my 53 Hornet sedan.  Doug has nice-looking shocks with Hudson stickers for that original look if you prefer
