Replacement rear shocks for 1973 Taylor-Dunn GT 361?

[Radius]

After painting, I am in the process of reconnecting chassis and body.

Though I have the manual for my beast, I am unable to find information on what I need so far as replacement shocks on the back end; what are the specs, stats, etc.?

Any particulars and/or things to consider when replacing?

Appreciate any guidance/help.

Thanks much,

Upon further inspection, I have determined there is some information on one shock, not so much on the other.

Both are heavily corroded/rusted, one to the point of being un-readable save for "CAN" and a "60". The other, after sanding, and ultimately scanning, and playing with the levels & contrast in Photoshop, provided the following:

86 602 00
615483
Gabriel of Canada
=Made in Canada=
T4DC

After some searching, I am not finding a viable way to locate what may be a replacement in a typical auto parts store, if such a thing is possible.

Is there such a thing, or do I need get these from an online house/mail order place?

Thanks again,

I've had no problems getting just about any part I want right off of Taylor Dunn's website.

Ohio,

Thanks again for the response.

I was asking if there was a local/retail option, rather than an online purchase, for which I have found several places (Taylor-Dunn being the most expensive).

I would like to know as many of the options as possible prior to making a purchase, and time may be a constraint, depending on circumstances with money.

Thanks again.

if you look in the other Threads there is a sticky with .pdf floating around for Monroe shocks. if you follow the instructions on measuring you can find a shock or group of shocks to fit your need, and then look them up online for availability. I did that when i thought I had to replace the ones on my cart. I went to the local parts stores websites and found who had them in stock. If you want to buy local that's the way to go. However, I did find that Amazon had some really good prices on shocks and some had free shipping. Just something to consider in your search.

Hope that helps, and good luck!
