The original shocks on my '66 Safari 22' were Delco (GM) with a part number
that would no longer cross in parts manuals. I took the shocks to my local
NAPA dealer who measured the shock mounts and the length compressed and
extended and came out with a pair of NAPA Gas Deluxe shocks with part number
94005 at a cost of about $18/shock. That shock fits the front suspension of
'60s - '70s 1/2 ton Chevy pickups. They fit perfectly when installed. The
trailer is still in my shop undergoing slow paced repairs so has not been
towed except around the block a couple of times when I was cleaning out the
shop or moving things around so I will not testify in court that they are
the same shocks the engineers originally specified but others have told a
similar story of using 1/2 ton Chevy shocks as replacements.

After much searching by the local dealer, we found that NAPA p/n 94005
(Monroe) shocks fit our '65 Caravel. They came without the upper metal
bushing insert, so they fit perfectly. Sure made a difference in th
towing & bounce. [RJ '65 Caravel]
