Here is What I found. I hope this is what you are looking for.


HI, John. It took me a while, but I found the info. I thought they were
Monroe shocks, but they're Gabriel Hi-Jackers.
The sales slip says:
For Item: 250407 49304 PAIR AIR SHOCKS 1977 CHEVROLET CORVETTE PRICE:
59.99
                                                        SALES TAX:  4.20

                                                        TOTAL:
64.19

Hope this helps. - Ken

The shocks had a single valve hook up between them. I opted for
individual
valves for each shock because when I sat in it, it sagged to one side
just
enough to be annoying.

These things really improve the ride a lot.
