I came across an unopened box of Delco Ride-King shock absorbers. The end of the box says Cat. No. S-105, 49-54 Chevrolet, 53-54 Corvette, 5518018.
I cannot find the part number - 5518018 - in any of the literature I have (part catalogues from 54, 59 and 61). But from what I can tell, 54 Corvettes did not use the same front shocks as passenger cars. Thus, I don't understand why these shocks would work for both passenger cars and Corvettes
Without opening the box, is there any way to tell what these shocks really are and when they were made? If I use these shocks, will I lose points when I have my 54 judged?
Thanks
