For a '65, fronts were 311 413 031 /A/K

E/G/L were for early '67-on.

I don't see anything else in the parts list that changed at the same time, so I 
have no idea what the difference might be. Both mount on the same lower arms 
and with the same upper bolts.

No, the similarity in part # only means that the Germans had a system in mind 
when they assigned part #s.

Most of the OE shocks I've seen were F & S.

I may have some new Cofap front shocks here. Supposed to be type 3 fronts. I 
assume they are late ones, but they should work. OTOH, I'm sure I have some 
good used OE late ones in the garage.
