These all go on 3" tube axles. 3400836 & 837.....Supposedly '70 E-body only (I don't know) 1856346 & 347.....Much more widely used. The only difference I can see is that with the 836/837, the shock stud is about an inch lower than the 346/347. Why would 70's need a lower shock mount, is the upper mount also an inch lower ? Seems like these could all be used interchangeably (unless you just need the correct numbers).
