Update on 61-64 shock and how they are hard to find.

On a previous post we talked about how the shocks for the early 60s Galaxies are hard to find. After a bunch of research I found a cross reference for the shocks designed for the 78 Lincoln Versailles. I ordered a set of KYB shocks from summit because they were about the same price as getting standard shocks locally. Any way today I pulled the old shocks and compared them to the new ones. Fully compressed they are the same length, fully extended the original units are about .5" longer. The top and bottom mounts fit perfectly. Just thought I would pass the finding along.
