The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Delco Double acting single valve knee shocks

Does anyone know off hand if the single acting linkage will fit the double acting delco's?

The reason why I ask is that the linkages are in pretty bad shape on my delco's and need replacing/refurbishment.

The action of the linkage is the same, just not sure if the width of the linkage heads are correct.

There's only one listed that I know of so I'd think they are the same. Chevs shows a different link bushing for the double action shock but the link itself appears to be the same.

The bushing they list is for the yoke type linkage, which is what all double acting shocks I have seen are equipped with, which probably answers my question. It has a rubber busing at the top, and the bottom is a threaded rod, similar to a modern tube shock.
