Just a FYI ,Autolite marked would not have been found on 66 GT350 .They would be FOMOCO marked. Gabrial was the OEM supplier. Koni shocks would be found on cars prior to approximate 900.

The rears are stamped with the FoMoCo in an oval and the number under it is 3829394

Fronts have the same FoMoCo oval with 3829392 stamped in the side/tube

Don't think any are going to turn up using the engineering numbers but good luck

Have not seen a set for sale or advertised in a long long time.


PS changed the title to something more representative of what you are looking for ;)

This is a delayed reply but I just saw it. Instead of 3829392, my front shocks are 3829396.

Interesting - So this is from a pair of FoMoCo stamped adjustables. What is the date code if you would?

Have pictures of 5 pair of the fronts ending 92 would love to see yours
