Thanks for the quick reply. The information is much appreciated. I have a 36 Standard, so it doesn't look like these will work. Which is too bad, because these are supposed to be NOS shocks. And probably are, since they still have Delco paper stickers with some of these numbers on them.

how many different shock numbers were available in this era, anyway?..I'm assuming some different valving or arm lengths?..are we talking a few, dozens, or hundreds?..
