71 Shock Fitmit

What is the difference between the 71 Cutlass 2dr&4dr shocks and the wagon shocks? The local auto parts store list shocks for the 2 and 4 dr, and then a different shock for the wagon. Reason I ask is the same brand shocks for the 2 and 4drs are roughly $10 more than the wagon.

The shock mounts differently at the rear top of the '71 Vista Cruiser wagon.
I checked the manual and it says the Vista Cruisers are the only ones like that, I never knew.

Vista rear shocks mount on top like the front shocks do on top.

Thanks, Bluevista, I asked them at the parts store, and they didn't know, and couldn't find a picture, but that explains why they list different ones
