Spiral shocks for '70 442

EDIT - June '25 - for now I have what I need - thank you to everyone who reached out!

I'm looking for a set of the original spiral shocks for my '70 convertible restoration. I'm sure these are completely unobtainable, but who knows what is out there, and rebuildable condition is completely fine. I don't hope to find NOS. I'm willing to take a similar shock with a different part number or date code as well, as long as the shock is the correct fit and configuration. I know reproductions are available, but several who have used them have noted that the build quality is poor and the overall appearance isn't quite correct.

shocks

FWIW I have a number of NOS Delco replacement shocks, still in their original boxes. They are the Pleasurizer line,sold by GM dealers. I have a catalog with applications and specs. If interested email me for pics, etc.: drolds1@bellsouth.net. Thanks, Bob.

Let me check what I have. I believe I have a set of factory rear shocks that need to be rebuilt. I want to say the julian dates are later in '70, though. Interested before I go digging?

Jimmy, those would be great. Julian dates aren't as important to me as the configuration and appearance at this point. Thank you!
