Hello! I need to find a replacement shock for the surge brake system on my 65 Shasta. the shock that I pulled off of it is a Gabriel brand and has these numbers: VM12811 610663 P6 MC The shock is 7" center-to-center closed and 9.5" c-c open. Bolt hole diameter is 7/16" on both ends You would think that with this much information it would be easy to find a replacement but I am not having much luck. I went to the Gabriel site and none of these numbers resulted in a match Any ideas for a replacement? Thanks!Eric

Find something close if you can't lubricate/fix it. Some are just frozen in time. The shock doesn't have to be exact and it's possible to change the mounts to adjust for a new one.
PS: be sure the master cylinder is in working order before spending too much. They can be scarce.
