New member here, already looking for parts!

 

Got the lovely front shock stuck in my right front strut! Trust me it is solid in there! I need a right front strut housing/assembly for a 70-73. If you have one let me know and we can make a deal. I would like it if the shock was not in the strut so I know I do not have another solid stuck unit. I don't need any of the other hardware, I have springs and all, literally just the strut for now. Thanks all!

Yes a rusty old shock tube can get really stuck in there. Before you give up completely, drill a hole in the bottom of the strut tube and use a drift/punch and BFH to drive the old shock out if you haven't tried that already. You can always weld up the hole later, but will minimal affect on strength if left as is.

 

I'd offer a strut but I'm too far away to make it practical shipping $$ wise, so I'd thought I offer advice instead.

Trust me I tried that after many hours of anger and sweat, I think I saw it here on hybridZ to try it before I joined in fact. I even got the real BFH out. Rigged it all up to use a flat punch on the bottom with a sledge. Nothing. One solid piece. At this point if you're willing to ship PM and i'll give a fair price plus shipping. Not finding any luck local, and the car is on jack stands till I figure this out.

ok then, I dug it out, checked it out,  all the threads are fine, even the gland nut spins right in. 

 

Drop me a email to z240@shaw.ca and I'll send a couple more pics. I'll weight and box and send you the shipping estimate. Let me know your zip to the email or PM.
