Go direct to Gabriel and give them your original part numbers. They were able to supply compatible shock part no,s. for my 65 Malibu :D

Contact HENNIE 0834553545 - he had a stack of new Valiant shocks - not sure if they are the same for all models.

I believe all Mopar A bodies built around the world (1960-81) use the same replacement front/rear shocks...........I know ours here in the USA are the same from 1960-76, when the those cars were discontinued.

About 2 or 3 years ago i struggled to find shocks for my then Valiant Charger - somebody recommended shocks off a Toyota Hilux (probably earlier models) and fitted perfectly. I just forgot the part number, but if you take your old shocks to any spares as samples, they should be able to find you the closest that can match your Cuda Shocks.
