Re: 65 Classic front shocks

[farna@xxxxxxx]

Monroe or Gabriel one has a classic, custom, or obsolete order program. I was able to special order standard gas shocks for my 63 Classic through Sears auto center. 

I have a folder with all receipts for everything I've bought for the car, but that's the one I don't have! I recall Sears losing the paper work, but receiving the shocks. They installed them and gave me that receipt, which just serves to date when they were put on -- 12-30-99
