We ended up using light truck shocks from NAPA based on the length of the shock and the weight of the car for our 49 deluxe. They work great. We combined them with new rear springs from Eaton Detroit Spring and those springs fit just perfectly. They were shipped to me in Arizona with just a toe tag on them. A little box came along with the springs that had the rubber parts in it. Ernie in Arizona

Thank you Ernie! I'll likely have to take them to Napa for a match but what would help to know is if there really is such a thing as single-acting shocks.

Ernie, the Napa Shocks look great and would be fine for a passenger car but the Henney shocks are at least twice the diameter. They're huge! If I can find any old ones in my shop (I'm there now) I'll post a photo next to a standard Packard shock.

I've heard of single acting lever shocks, but can't say about tube type shocks.....
