Here a couple links that will help you out. I just used them to replace the shocks on my 56. Make sure the shocks do not bottom before the suspension. Remember to subtract 1 1/4" from the measured suspension distance if there are stud mounts on both ends of your shocks. Mike

When measuring shock length do you measure fully extended to the end of the thread studd or the end to end of the shock upper and lower tubes
