Can anybody supply the GM part number for the hood struts? I have an 85 IROC and I would like to replace these. TIA

Just go to auto parts store and ask for replacement struts for your model year. They are a common part and are available everywhere. Prices also vary and you don't need a GM part number.

The only times you run into trouble is if you have a factory,or aftermarket, fiberglass hood and the counter person wants to sell a set for the steel hood.And on the rear hatch if you have,or add,window louvers or change spoiler type can affect which set you would need.

Bought mine at CarQuest.

I know I can get hood struts from many different locations, but I was hoping that the GM one's would be the same manufacture and part numbers, I would like to keep it as original as possible.

If I can't get them from GM or they aren't anything special for way too much money, then I will head over to the local auto parts place.

Anybody know the GM part number for these hood struts?

Thanks!

In the '82-'88 Camaro parts catalog the hood struts are listed as
P/N 14019157(Exc Z28)I imagine it's for the steel hood and it's still a good part number - GM list $44.00 ea. and GMpartsdirect.com $27.00 ea.
P/N 14045326 (Z28) This is probably for the composite hood

Perfect! Thanks a lot! That is what I needed. You must have been reading my mind, I was going to put an order in at GMPartsdirect and I wanted to add these to the order (not like it will save me any money on shipping) but just wanted to keep it together!

Thanks!

Coming from someone with a stock car, the hood struts are better going aftermarket. At $44 each from the dealer, I replaced mine 3x in 3 years. After getting frustrated at car shows by the hood not staying up, I bought aftermarket. Nobody deducts points and the have lasted 4 years now. The rear hatch is even more than $44 and they lasted about as long. New aftermarket struts for the rear hatch still have lots of umph after 4 years also. I do have the heavy duty rear struts because of louvers.
