Help with Parts

Hi. I am licensing my 1959 F350 dump truck. I am drawing a blank finding front shocks. Does anyone know a reasonable priced source? Also I need to get the lights working. I think there was a really old post about replacement light switches. Matching **** not a concern.

You sort of have to go with an original style headlamp switch as the fuse block plugs into it. https://www.dennis-carpenter.com/tru...M_Qtxh2LPT7Bxq

you might have to measure your shocks and match something up.

Thanks. I'll have to remove them. They are just rattling around now without bushings. Maybe oem.
