Re: 55 Packard cluster upgrade and shock bracket and suspension?

While waiting for the real experts, the parts book shows that the part number 419667 fits only 1951 through 1954 as you surmised and I have never replaced the shocks on my own 1956 Custom but I seem to recall that on it the lower bracket came with or was somehow part of the shock. Maybe simply taking it into a Napa store can help get it sorted out.

You might find a good used instrument gauge from one of the dealers such as Mike Dulinsky who specializes in the 1955-1956 Packards and has many parts cars. There are no after market plug-and-play clusters.
