Motion Street/Strip shocks

Saw a BM invoice written as "Street/Strip shocks(AIR)" $100.00; In reviewing the performance guides for 68-69 street/strip shocks are shown with a price of $75.00 and air shocks as not being available; would these shocks simply be the cure rides?

No the rear Cure-Rides were shocks made for Motion ---extra big----------The Air shocks I had were Gabriels along with the air bags they are still around------------In '90 Joel/Motion put Koni all around---I left the airbags in

Now you've really gone out on a limb Joe..... "even Belair"

Were you talking about Gabriel Hi-Jackers?

I popped one of the original air shocks back when and it was replaced with Gabriel air shocks----If Cure ride made air shocks in '69 then I had Cure-Ride air shocks when new-----I'll check --In any case air shocks were available--you can see the air valve on the back of my bumper in the photos of my Chevelle------------The air bags were AIR LIFT---the ones back then were black---today they are red, but they can be dyed if you want--

Do you know the brand of Air Bags used? Do you know of "modern" equivalent? I know there are air bags, used for trucks & RV's, but are they too big?
