66' F350 Front Shock Source?

Does anyone have a good source for front shocks to replace the old ones on my 66' F350? There are planety of options for the rears out there (must of had a wider application than the fronts). I've bothered Monroe and Gabriel, but neither makes the fronts anymore. I want a gas charged shock as that's what I put on the rears.

I've been told I could use a generic shock by taking off the old ones and getting the measurements; fully compressed and fully extended, but I'd rather buy something that was designed for the truck.

Thanks for your time.

Ford, and prolly no one else offered gas shocks for 1957/66 F350's.

These are the only shocks listed, the part numbers were never updated.

B7AZ18124B .. Front Shock-Regular Duty (Motorcraft AB5)

Fits: 1957/66 F350 / 1961/66 F500/700

No Ford or obsolete parts vendor has any.
-----------------------------------------
C1TZ18124J .. Front Shock-Xtra Duty (Motorcraft AX72A)

Fits: 1957/66 F350 / 1961/66 F500/700.

Ford later went by the Motorcraft part numbers only.

Don Sanderson Ford in Glendale AZ has 14 of AX72A = 623-842-8600.

No one else has any!
