57 Olds upgrades completed but now need shocks - help

Well I now have the entire driveshaft redone with new centerbearing support and all three u-joints (with grease fittings). I had the cannister oil filter converted over to a spin-on, using the late model GM diesel filter and Amsoil 10-30/30 synthetic diesel oil. This 12 TBN oil is actually a straight grade oil with no parrafin wax. It does have high amounts of phosphorous and zinc needed for our camshafts. I had the Petronics unit installed and a complete tune up done.
BUTTTT! found a rear shock hanging not attached to the stud. So I am looking for four shocks for a 57 Super 88. Anyone offhand know of a good source. I do have various parts catalogs but maybe someone knows a better source that cuts out the middle guy. Thanks.
Next project is reubilding the carb.

I put a set of KYBs in my delta and I have to hand it to the asains they can build one hell of a shock for a big american car. I love these and have no plans of swaping them out for anything else.
