i'm pretty sure that c.c. tower would be too wide. the andy's tower is taller, but narrow like a buggy, if i remember right. i'd have to look a the pic of hoopty's car.

here's the pic of hoopty's car

andys body still wanted...

hoopty, what shocks are on the back, 1.02's?

I asked myself exactly the same question when building my Andy's trailing arm kit with a stock rear shock tower, normal shocks are way too long to make the necessary down and up travel, so I asked Hoopty and Coxy-Ben to compare a stock ST to a what I thought would be a longer Andy's ST... answer was definitely yes they're different! Then I thought I could use front truck shocks with inner spacers at the rear while waiting for a proper long Andy's (and I'm pretty sure they also made a shorter one too)... but then the problem is that a body shell would have to be cut out at the rear because of the longer Andy's rear ST... decisions, decisions...

this is the shorter Andy's rear shock tower (courtesy of Coxy Ben )

now look at the original box depicted, there were 2 types of shock towers included in the kit it seems, would be great to see the original instructions... anyone

honestly dude, i have never really been able to unnastan the whole ae shock measuring system... i know, i am teh suck who only buys stuff on ebay...

they are 3 5/8" eye to eye.

well, they look like the 1.02's to me. and with your measure ment, it pretty much confirmed it. right now, i'm at 3 1/4" center to center. i think i'll have to try some .89 bodies. i'm pretty sure that the .89 shock kits use a .71 shaft. so, that might still be too short.
