From post #1 above:
".But Kanter auto have it available but I am not sure what I should choose
They have COIL OVER BOOSTER SHOCKS,GAS-CHARGED SHOCKS,PLEASURIDE SHOCKS.What is the correct for my 1955 Packard Clipper ?"

"I agree with Ownen Dyneto, I was at a Packard National Meet when Bill Allison spoke and said what OD repeated above." referencing:

" Designer of the T/L System, Bob Allison, make specific recommendations in later years that heavy duty type and coil-over shocks should NOT be used on T/L cars."

ok. But then IF HD type shocks should not be used then why does Kanter offer them including the coil overs ????

AND then why does the FACTORY parts cataloug indicate heavy duty available for 56's????
