I just installed these in the front of my '66 that has been lowered about 4" by the PO. http://www.monroe.com/en-US/catalog/e-Catalog/555002
They ride a lot better than the blown out originals. I found them recommended in a bunch of posts.. but one thing that wasn't mentioned was the bolt diameter is smaller than the stock shocks which took some dealing with ( I reused the old hardware but that required a little grinding and welding..) For $20 a pop I'm pretty happy all the same.
