1958 rear shock help

I need some help or info for the rear shocks on my 58. I was just at the parts store and had a grabber on cost of rear shocks. And I do not think it was even the right listing for it.

What I have is the rear shock is a pin-- pin style. It is 21" at ride height. Was wondering if any of you have a cross reference or part # for a shock off of ? That would work. The part store would have to order them and it would be like $175.00 a shock. I figure if I can figure out something else later model it should cheaper. The front shocks I just bought were around 40-50 each. Those were Monroe # 5801st if any one could use that number. So any help to help the pocket book would be great.

Sorry correction my shocks are 21" extended. And 19" at ride height. Pin on pin

Rocky, Contact Greg Hire, here in Fort Wayne. He has a huge stock as his family is in the parts business. Find him through this link. Remind him he sold me a set of shocks for my '54 Eureka in Plymouth Indiana ages ago.

If no one else has an answer for you, I have a Monroe book a guy at Pep Boys gave me a while back when I was trying to do some custom stuff. It lists all the min/max extensions and the types of ends for all the current part numbers. Problem is, its a book, so it takes a while to find what you want, if it exists at all. You'd think in this day and age they could plug the info you have into a computer and find a match, but nobody seems interested in doing that anymore.

Anyway, if you want the book I'll throw it in the mail for you.

waled down to the parts store yesterday ordered a set for a 58 fleet wood 75 picked them up today and put them on

John,
With the posting you did of the picture of the shock box, I was able to cross reference the number and finally able to get my rear shocks. The number you got was a old out of stock out dated part. So here is a pic of the shock numbers I have in case any one could use it. This is the rears. Oh yeah I got the pair for about $55.00 so that was way better. Thanks again for the help

this is the shocks for the front

Living out in the sticks must be good.Those were in stock in the warehouse in rapid.
