Default shocks?

I have a 1926 Model T. It has a dropped front axle. Any ideas on shocks I can use to replace the old ones? I haven't checked to see is I can get a part number on old shocks. the truck has been sitting for 20 plus years.Pretty rusted out. Any ideas?
Thanks
Jerry

Nope. Without them in hand or photos, no one can see what they are to even start guessing. T's didn't have shocks. You will have to take them off and try to do some serching on line to see if you can find a match.

Just take a photo while they are on the car and post it here. While you are at it post some of the whole car.

Suggested taking them off so the free and compressed lengths could be determined.

Why is that needed? We don't even know what they are. He should post a photo and be more forthcoming if asking for help.

Because if he does some research on his own, that would help him find replacement shocks that had the same amount of travel. Please read my first post.

A photo would show what he has and maybe an identification or replacement.

Jerry it's up to you now.
