Does anyone have a book that tells part number or know if they were used on any other Chevy to hold up trunk, etc? Thanks for any help.

I seem to recall that early Corvettes used them on the hoods. hood support for Corvette It doesn't look like the brackets are right though. Kind of pricey too. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | | | | | | Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 121 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 121 | these are the same as those posted by K10 only with a lower price. http://mooreindhardware.thomasnet.c...opic-props/telescopic-props/104710-5874?I have ordered them and paid near $10 each + shipping. only differences are the brackets( would have to be changed/modified) and they are a little thicker but work exactly the same. good luck | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 438 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 438 | Guys Thanks for the information.

I will compare these lifts with the ones I have. If they are being made that is good for us, otherwise I have been working on getting them made too. .............g | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 Sir Searchalot | | Sir Searchalot Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 | I wouldn't think Moore would know if they are the same as 49 Burb. The link given has a drawing with all the dimensions. Can't tell if Hippy ordered them and modified them and they work or just now ordered them. Sounds like Gmo is comparing that drawing to actual lifts. Those two guys will find the answer. Good work.

They were correct length as the og lifts, opened and lock the same same distance as originals.
the difference being they were thicker than the og lifts and the brackets were not the same. (I was gonna make new brackets to match og brackets)
Unfortunately I have since sold them off along with extra parts I had so I couldn't take or post pics | | |
