After spending 6 hours yesterday researching shocks I finally found some KYB shocks (part number KG5552 at Advance Auto Parts) for the rear of my 1961 544.
I also found that all bushings for front and rear suspension in urethane are available at IPD but are not listed in the online catalog. You have to order them by phone.

Now to what I need to research the front shocks.
1. the distance from the center of the mounting loops compressed and the distance extended.
2. the width of the mounting bushing and the diameter of the bushing hole.
3. any part numbers stamped into the body of the shock. The more people with different part numbers the better.
When I find a good shock replacement for the front shocks I will post the part number(s) and wher they can be purchased.
Thanks
Ray J.
