I have been under the Dart most of the day changing all the fluids, oil, trans, diff. While I was on my back I was surveying what should be next and I am looking to suspension.
My Dart has 123K miles and other than brake lines most everything under there looks original even the shocks but not knowing what originals look like. Thus the question.
Thanks
 
Someone was just selling original equipment shocks around the time of the Carlisle Car Show on this site. Search for factory shocks.
 
My '65s were a metallic green color, dont know of they were original but most everything else was when I pulled it out of a warehouse with '76 tags on it. you looking for the correct color? Modern nitrogen shocks are much better than the old oil filled.

They are 1965 part number 2298-803 or 804 for HD. Didnt change back to 1963. Doesnt cross reference to any shock today, just go to rockauto and see what part numbers come up.
