Looking for recommendations on which shocks I should buy to replace the factory shocks on my single-leaf 67 bird. I don't want to modify the body or factory look, just want it to ride better than a hay wagon. If it makes a difference, it is a convertible.

Thanks in advance!

I will probably get flamed for this, but when Edelbrock discontinued the IAS line, I figured I better do the research and line up replacements in advance.

Totally based on, "Oh what the heck", I discovered that Koni makes shocks for FGF's.

Beyond that, there are a lot of people here that like they KYB shocks.

Thanks for the feedback - will research KONI and KYB's a bit more.

Hi, Konis no doubt. Quality, performance and comfort. Part # 80-1914 to front , 80-1915 rear.
Check from:

They are on sale in Summit at the moment.

Thanks for the information. I will check these out!

KYb's been pretty good on the last 2 birds I did

Thing about the KYBs is gas shocks tend to be a bit harsher. Not as easily collapsed on impact with a bump so a bit more jarring than say a hydraulic shock would be. I've read that gas shocks add up to 40 pounds in spring rate to your existing leaf spring rate. Just a couple of things to consider. Hard to find a good hyd Shock these days. All modern cars use gas shocks I believe.
I've got a practically new set for sale if anyone is looking..

KYB's on all four corners of my '68. I agree, can be a little harsh on rough roads.
