James,

Yes. You are correct. Those were 90/10's that were taken off the front. I'll have to dig through my stash to see if I kept the Hijacker rear shocks.

Nice shock box! I assume they aren't for sale. Do they have the hose and the tag? Is the tag red or blue?

I'll trade you an NOS tissue box for your air shocks.  ;D

Nice looking shocks Bentley. Can you measure them mount to mount for me and PM the measurement? They look like the same length as mine, but I tried to install mine yesterday and it looks like they're too short and the lower mount has a metal sleeve insert that would need to come out to fit over the stock studs. Maybe it is supposed to come out?
 Something to think about abiddle is the length of the shock when you're looking for them. I thought mine were a done deal, but now I'm not so sure.

My 1968 Z/28 has a sticker in the trunk that says " Delco Pleasure Ride shocks". it is on the right side trunk support brace.

Dealer install or OTC purchase. Air shocks didn't come on 1st gens from the factory.
