VintCo offers air shocks that are replicas of the units popular in the late 1970s.
Just like the original air shocks, VintCo’s shocks are adjustable with two chambers for high and low pressure. Some modifications may be required for installation, like the originals, so the shock comes with various bushings. Size choices for the fully rebuildable air shocks range from 13.5 to 17.5 inches, and they come assembled, ready for installation: just add air or nitrogen. MSRP is listed at $795.95.
Here is what VintCo says about them:
