I got KYB. I do not remember the numbers out of my head , but they were as recommended front and rear. They fit right on. The Caspros I took of did not fit.
Kyboutlet.com has them at a very reasonable price

I do not know how old the caspos were, but I could compress them easely between my hands. So not much damping left

I aquired some new Caspro shocks several years ago and ended up eating
warranty as Stodard would not do anything about the defects.

We had the Caspro Shocks on our 77 Eleganza II that we bought n 1998 and I ran them for a number of years and they LOOKED good, but when I took them off to check them they were WORN OUT! Have run KYB on all my coaches ever since.

That’s a serious smack-down.
I guess I won’t look at his steering box, then.

Dolph, Chuck Staddord seldom takes care of his customers when there is a
problem with a product.

To back up Jim K. on this one, I have heard the same story from other GMCers concerning defective product and warranty problems with this vendor.

Rob,
Chuck used to be a large vendor at all the GMCMI rallies until about 2002 or 2003. He sold engines, transmissions, final drives, Wallace style front hubs that were made by Buskirk as well as shocks and other stuff. I have one of his brochures at home that I can have put on Billy M site in April, but if someone else has one on hand send a PDF version to Billy to get it post for history.

Dolph,
I would suggest that you get a Dave Lenzi Steering box as it will be correct out of the box. I think that Jim K carries them and you can also get it direct from Dave.

Manny acquired some of his parts.
He did not buy him out.
Suggest we leave these type of vendors off the sights as people will order
from them.
