Hi Bill,
Was waiting for your your thoughts. Do you think if I found NOS they would still be any good after 50+ years?
I have a friend that has a 54 Chevy and has the spiril style.

I was looking at the " 1957 Factory Assembly Manual" and the pictures of the shocks do not show any kind of spiril.
I will take a look at the ones you talk about above.

Thank you!
