Jim,
I used NAPA shocks on my '68 G.T.. Just took the old ones with me so they
could match 'em up.
It has been said that "Airstream shocks work backwards from normal shocks",
but I don't believe that. AFAIK:, all shocks retard the extension of the
suspension spring, never the compression. (or minimally, at most)
