Let me help you here:

CMC Shocks Data April, 2015

These shocks came on a Metal Craft Frame purchased in 1989

Front:

          Gas Coil Overs

          # 84340, PK13CC3A

          Eyelets at both ends -

                14” fully extended, unknown dimension fully compressed

Rear:

          Oil shock

          #0873, 725547

          Made in USA 06112 0873 0874 725547

          Threaded at both ends –

                15 3/8” fully extended (eyelet to eyelet dead center),

                11 ¾” compressed (eyelet to eyelet dead center)

No more messy Micro$oft .docx files to contend with. You'll likely get more replies.

Hope this helps,
Ted

Thx TRP - I really appreciate your help cleaning up my technical Faux Pas!

There you go Mr Bayne'

Come on guys, Nobody has seen these shocks before?

The shorter shock with threaded ends on each end - Is that really a shock?!

If nobody has seen them, maybe we have some suggestions for replacements?

I recently read that Airkewled will make you any shock you want:

Give 'em a call and see what they can do.

I've also been in contact with "Viking Performance" http://www.vi-king.com/

They have a HUGE line of products. They should be able to set you up with what you need. 

Hope this helps,

Ted

I've only seen that type of shock on 4-wheel drive steering stabilizers like from Rancho or on some weird imports like older Peugeot, Hillmans,  etc.

Put those in a box, find a NAPA dealer and let him dig through his data base.....  The coil over "looks" like an over load shock and the other looks like something from a very early Falcon front end...   

Thanks guys - I'll research airkewld, viking and NAPA. Keep any other ideas coming.  I need to solve this mystery. - Dave

It might be easier for you to tell us what y have for a suspension and then we can recommend a replacement set of shocks for you.

Front end:  do you have dropped spindles or stock height?  If you have drop spindles, you probably might not have front adjusters (But then again, you might!)

Rear end:  Swing arm or IRS?  That's anout all the migt be different back there.

Give us this info and maybe we can help more.

Maybe these photos will help ?

Metal craft can't (or won't ) help?  Maybe at least find out what they used to use?

I see a different address and phone number for them:

Metalcraft Products INC

30415 Ecorse Rd

Romulus, MI 48174-3521 
(734) 728-1277

A little further looking came up with the KYB web site's knowledge center:

http://www.kyb.com/knowledge-c...w-to-measure-shocks/

Digging through that is a wealth of info for you to measure what you've got, then call or email them with the info and see what they can do.  Remember that most Speedsters weigh somewhere around 1800 pounds, or 450 per wheel (for the proper damping rate).  That, and the info from your current shocks per the KYB website should get you going.

The KYB measurement page is here:

ok Gordon - I will follow up with KYB. Thx again.  Metal Craft in Romulus, MI deep sixed years ago.  I fould one guy in Michigan who used to work for or with them but there is no body to contact and he knew nothing about my shocks.  I did try the NAPA option today and the guy at the counter looked pretty overwhelmed and disinterested  searching their database but he said he'd call me after he tried. Maybe KYB will be interested in helping.  Thank you again. Bayniac

Ron from SOC just added some data from his Metal Craft Frame CMC.

P30, Manning, pressurized, NSTA 84240.

Are Manning or NSTA a brand names?

Find a different guy or a different NAPA store. On the whole, I've found them to be extremely helpful. They go out of their way  to help you usually.

NAPA is the only decent source left

David,

Here is the contact page for coolrydes, Kevin Zagar.  http://www.coolrydescustoms.com/contact-us.html

They build a front and rear suspension that uses coil overs. see the photo.

Good luck with the shocks.

Larry

Thanks for the mention. Hope your chassis is treating you well. Remember I want a quick check on it after the first 50-100 miles to make sure everything is tight and ready for the SLO event....
