Bill Welcome to FTE and the 61-66 forum, we're the #1 ol Ford truck stop.

No factory shocks from the factory, even to today, that I am aware of.

I have seen a herd of autofab either.

Hope to see you around.

John

As John; mention Welcome aboard. And to add to his post, no factory Air shocks at factory, to the best of my knowledge, could possiblity been on a Camper special, dealer option add on. But your talking about 40 plus years of possible replacement parts. Motorcraft was the shock of the day. And in my option still is. Should be as follows 1965 part number C5TZ18125, 1966 C6TZ18124, could have the numbers backwards.
Again Welcome.

Mitch

EDITED:
Thanks for the help Mitch, and I will return the favor and spell sholud correctly for you.

Exclamation Air...I need AIR!

First Autolite, then Motorcraft made Air Shocks front and rear for 1000's of applications.

Examples from the 1964-72 Ford parts book

D4PZ-18125-G Shock, Rear Air type 1965-69 F100/250 exc C/S

D4PZ-18125-F Shock, Rear Air Type 1970-72 (as above)

Note: these are old part numbers, and would have to be updated. They are listed here for reference only.
