$250 each would buy a nice set of Koni's...
Factory shocks, even HD ones, in that time frame lasted about a year in my experience... I doubt these rebuilt ones would last as long (if you really want to DRIVE the car)...
When I bought my '59 z28, it had the originals on it; I immediately replaced them with Gabriel Strider adjustables (which are still on it now which work just fine parked in the garage!).. I have a new set of Konis for it when I again drive it...
I know this is old but the hole in mine is tapped for a Zerk fitting on my 69. However the hole is way bigger than your typical size fitting you might see on steering linkage, etc.
Where would one find such animal? I sure have never seen a Zerk that big.

Dug out my hoses and the high pressure hose markings are basically illegible. There's an "A G04279" which is the date code and that's about it.
The low pressure return hose is marked "P.S. Return 96-0 3931898 CC"
It would be great if you would add a photo.
Not an expert on these but most of the original high pressure hoses I have seen have one long crimp, not the two closely spaced crimps that was on yours.
Chick, rsr stated that he is in the restoration business and reluctant to share proprietary information. I respect his position however have a contrary view. If you want to display your work and deny forum members how to duplicate those results that's not in the spirit of the CRG forum.PM sent to you LloydSecret?
Yes, not sure on the high pressure hose. I checked an old picture from my '69 Chevelle before I restored it and it had the same style high pressure line crimping. That pic was from 1989. The AC lines on the Chevelle have the same style crimping as well. I really don't know what an original looks like. And yes, seems the low pressure line seems a little early, but would seem weird someone would replace it with an even older one!
