I am looking for suggestions on the best replacement shocks[front and back],
I put KYB gas filled front and rear on my '72 droptop. However, this is an incomplete answer. Mine sat in a boneyard for 30 years, and needed EVERYTHING. So I replaced the entire front and rear (except leaf springs) to heavy duty everything. It now has 429 coils, 1-1/8" front sway bar, rear sway bar, upper and lower control arms, strut bushings, ball joints, etc. I’m a disabled Vietnam vet with back troubles, so it took me 6 months to do what a competent mechanic could do in a day. But it sure was worth it in the handling department. What a ride!!! Good luck on yours, and give it all the love you can. They don’t make any more of these wonderful cars. And as a bonus, drive it to WalMart and watch the folks gravitate to it, as most have never seen one.
