Default Replacement shocks

Need to replace the shocks on my 62 Fleetwood. I am able to find replacements for the rears but have not seen the fronts listed except at sites like USA with no manufacture name listed. Curious what other owners are using when replacing shocks.

Thanks!

I've lucked out and found sets on ebay, but I think Kanter and the like sell them.

Pretty sure I got the fronts at Rockauto.com and found some rears through Autozone of all places now that I think about it.

Coopers Vintage is where I got mine and at a reasonable price.

Be careful, I bought a set of rears from Autozone and the threaded ends of the shock were too short to fit with the supplied bushings and washers.
