Shocks 'Except Custom Camper and Heavy Duty'

Every listing for shocks for truck ('70 402 3/4T SG Custom Camper) in the catalogs says "Except Custom Camper and Heavy Duty".

Worst case I can use these, and since I won't be slapping a big camper back on it anyway, probably will never care, but since I'm striving for originality... what shocks would a Custom Camper or Heavy Duty have? Are there repros?

I haven't been able to find anything... anyone know if there's something special about the shocks it would have had, and if there's an equivalent available today?

BTW, here's my SPID if it helps anyone figure out what shocks I should have. It's got a few HD options, such as:

F59 front swaybar
G60 Aux Spring
F60 HD Front Spring - Includes HD shocks

Nobody? What if I spice it up by asking "where can I buy shocks that look like the originals" and give up caring whether they're really heavy duty or not?
