The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk 46 Dual Action Shocks Question

It seems trucks could be ordered with dual action shocks in '46. Stock shocks were single action. For clarity there is a difference between lever action and knee action. Jerry is correct that Chevy cars had Dubonet (also called Knee Action) shocks in the '30s on some cars. In '38 they were standard on the Master Deluxe with single action lever action shocks standard on the Master. Many people use the terms interchangeably but that's not accurate and can cause confusion. Imagine telling a vendor you want xxxxx parts for knee action shocks and when they arrive they don't fit anything on your lever action shocks. Not criticizing, just informing. You are far from the first to use the term and won't be the last.
