I don't believe so. F41 suspension only applies to ZR1 & ZR2 optioned 'vettes during this era.

No one currently reproduces the original F-41 rear shocks in their exact, original configuration. However, you can obtain a very similar shock as was used for 70+ F-41 and FE-7 applications from GM under GM #4940459. This shock as the same OD as the original HD rear shocks USED DURING THIS PERIOD. The primary difference in configuration is the size of the "coullee hat" retainer. Originals were larger OD and thicker than those used on these shocks.

Of course, the "numbers" and "stampings" are different, too. Current examples of the 4940459 may have no stampings, at all.

The current GM list price for these shocks is $74.69/each. I don't know if these shocks are available through Delco dealers, or not. Nevertheless, I would expect that a discounted GM price available from many dealers would not be that much different from a Delco dealer price on an item like these shocks.
