Where did you get them and what generation or model year Corvette do you think they are for? The answer to that will enable me to move this thread to the Corvette forum that can probably answer that question for you.

according to the 1961/62 tech &judging manual, "shock absorber information is as follows:hd front-5552659; hd rear-5552660. Delco products shock absorber identification is stamped near the top of shock, and will contain a date of manufacture code consisting of month (numeral),week of month (letter a-e) and year. Example: 6 a 62 equates to june,1st week,1962." hope this helps
9b65a which you would break down as september 2nd week of 1965, correct? They appear to be hard to find..any idea as to the value? Thanks
