All 47 dodges use the same shocks except the long wheel base.

The Monroe shocks that will fit ar Monroe Front 5752  rear 3100.  If you go to their wepage you can look up your car and also get the specs on therir shocks and then if you can not get these shocks you would at least have the specs.

 

I use the same shocks on my 39 Desoto.

Thanks for the info but it did not solve my problem.My local parts house tell me that this is a us part number and that he cant find it in his european list,i tried to look for the specs, i can find my veichle but the page telling the specs is unavailable.I have read somewhere that chev 1/2 ton front shocks fit in the front but is there a newer car that has rear shocks that will fit.

Sorry for not telling that my car is a -47 club coupe.

I can't find any reference as to whether these shocks will fit on my P-6. Does anyone know if they are correct for my car also? My P-6 is a 2 dr. sedan.

I appreciate the help in advance. Greg

Read post #3 Anders......it doesn't matter if it is a club coupe or a sedan.

Thanks for the input 'I have read all posts and tried to find specs on monroes page as per Don C s coment and allso Mr Hartung .I can still not find any specs as the webpage you advice me to look at tells ERROR 404 cant be found .I dont know if you cant reach this site from europe or what else is going on but it is impossible to look at the page.I guess that i have to go to a junk yard and look for shocks that can fit if noone here on this forum has any info on this subject, who knows maybe shocks from Volvo or Saab can be used.I would prefere gas charged shocks as they give a little extra traction.

5752

8.625 compressed length

12.750 extended length

4.125 travel length

31000

12.000 compressed length

19.500 extended length

7.500 travel length

dimensions given in inches, you'll need to convert to metric, top and bottom take the same style mounts, those you should be able to measure diameter from your existing mounts.

Hi Anders,

You can go to the Rockauto.com web pages and search the shocks for the '47 Dodge.

http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php?parttype=2240&a=RSSW1331862&carcode=1331862

 

Then click on the part number and you will see which other cars use the same shock.

 

E.g. the Monroe 31000 (D24 rear) was used by some Nissan, Toyota and Mitsubishi 1990's models.

As per Rockauto Monroe 5752 was also used by early (1951-52) VW Beetle.

Hope that this helps.

p.s.

no common nominator with Volvo nor Saab.

End sizes if you are book looking rather than taking actual measurements.
