I've been doing a bunch of work on a big block resto log deal and needed new shackle kits. One of these kits below is $16 from Summit. One is $43. Guess which...

The AC/Delco 45G13007 is for the FMJ's.

45G13010 is for the 60-76 A's


AC is MUCH less expensive...for the same part...go figure.

I'll add, neither set of parts do not fit A bodies without modification. The bushings are too large for the rear spring hanger. Easy fix but example of what's typical.
 
My guess is that the Delco is the cheaper of the two. So many parts now days are made in one place and re-branded. Every time I buy a GM part for my GM tool truck I get sticker shock. Go figure!
