    I've found that the 1126 &1128 numbers go nowhere on the NAPA site, but the rear shocks are found by M/Y/M search, coming up as "NAPA Response" #94049. They are common to numerous other applications and aren't difficult to obtain. The front, on the other hand, are not so easy. The NAPA # 555001 you see on Sarah's site is the result of my search for a suitable replacement, going by dimensions and end condition. I did buy a pair but I won't guarantee anything since I don't have a need for them as yet and haven't installed them.

    John,
              These are what I put on our '54 Jet two years ago:
    Rear- Monroe 31125 (pretty easy to find on many sites for a decent price)
    Front- Monroe 31176 (a little tougher to find, but they are out there, and not real expensive) As a note, Frank and I had an on-line discussion about these at one time. If I remember his concern, it was about length and the possibility of 'bottoming out'. In the two years I have had these on, I have not experienced any of those problems, and we have driven the Jet over 2500 miles since. (and on some REAL CRUMMY Michigan roads!)

    Ah! Feedback is good. The proof of the puddin' is in the eatin', so if they've been working well, that's good to know.
