What shock absorbers can I use for my '71 411? Rear shocks.

In KYB gas-adjust..the exact cross match shock is from a Ford 1/2 ton van.
Stock part #: Rear 411/412 KG 5531
Half ton part #: KG 5410
You can also use the 3/4 ton shock...it is somewhat stiffer : KG 5406.

Kyb listed only one gas adjust type rear shock, originally for the 411/412...all models (2,4 door and wagon). The wagon had gas from the factory. The 2 and 4 doors had oil...but had sway bars as well. The original KG 5531 worked great on all of them. The KG 5410 works just the same. The KG 5406 will be better on a wagon....but its also nice to get the swaybar and limks from a 2 or 4 door for the wagon as well. They bolt right up. The drillings are already in all of the bodies.
