Does anyone out there have a part number for the hatchback struts for the Bradley GT 2? I found my door struts at Auto Zone and they work great.
I have been working on this car since 1992 and have had quite a few "time outs". I made a goal for myself to have the car running by the end of 2011 and I made it! It is in the paint shop now and I will need to put in all of the glass, including the hatchback, when I pick it up.
Any help anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Their part number is C16-00221.

Dan and Skip,
Thanks for the info. The original hatchback struts on my Bradley are a bit shorter than my
door struts, so I am still looking for an interchange part number from Auto Zone, etc.
If anyone has specs for the originals such as compressed length, extended length, and strut
pressure, I can find the struts I need. Thanks again.

I got the 6 gas rams new with my Bradley GT II & they are all the same.
Sorry, maybe bad info.

Same pressure? The hatch and engine cover do not require as much to be supported. Too much and the rear window may shatter.
I checked the above part numbers against the GT2 parts list and there are 4 of 10154 for the doors and 3 of 2835 for the window and eng cover.
