Differences between Model A and '32 Lever shocks??

What are the differences between the Model A houdaille shocks and the 1932 version houdaille shocks??

Mounting holes versus positioning between frame and axles?...length of arm?....etc??

Thanks in advance as always!

 

very little...minor difference in the shape of the cover and the arms are thinner on 32 without a flange behind the ball

 

Good ole Jetmek! They are more exspensive!

 

I got mine from a Model A restorer and saved the Deuce surcharge. It ain't a "National first" restoration! If there aren't exact...oh well.

 

Not to hijack the thread, but would these Model A shocks be OK on the front end of a fenderless 32 pickup?

I have some later model lever shocks but I like the compact design of what Tommy has in his pictures. I take it that those are the Model A versions correct?

 

Thanks guys

 

29, those are 32 shocks that Tommys showin. They are about a 1/4" taller and the mounting ears are in a different location than the As. A mounting ears are along the center line of the shock, where as 32s are above the center line. The 32s also come in sets, left/front-right/rear and right/front-left/rear. The other ways to tell 32s from As, are a lip around the edge of the top cover, a "clover pattern on the back, and an oval shaped adjustment fitting where the arm mounts on.

 

This might help...
