63 Rear Shock Option
If your looking for a less expensive and easily obtainable rear shock replacement for your 63, this is what I did............
I bought 4 shock mount studs from Speedway Motors.......Part # 91036096 $4 And two Monroe 32314 Monro-Matic Plus Shock Absorber. These shocks have the same compressed and expanded measurements. I got mine from Amazon for $22. This is how they fit. |

Searching for some new rear shocks on my 63. Doing a search on this site gave me many choices for rear shocks.

KGB is a much better shock than Monroe or NAPA house brand. Rare parts likely is just a private label. Wonder who makes them??
