    I had this queued up when the server crashed....another approach:
    Speedshocks in Steel:
    We are proud to introduce our new line of Speedshocks in steel. These nitrogen filled gas shocks are engineered specifically for hot rod applications and offered in the “Standard” length of 235mm closed and 362mm extended or in the "Shorty" length of 200mm closed and 286mm extended. They are manufactured with or without dust covers and can be run on the front or rear end of the car in either configuration. The distinctive design of the dustcover is reminiscent of the “airplane shocks” used on early hot rods during the 40’s and 50’s. Other features are 90 durometer replaceable 5/8" (~15.9mm) ID lower and 7/16" (~11mm) ID upper neoprene rubber bushings and they come finished in either high gloss SO-CAL red or show chrome.
