    Anyone know if there are shocks from other cars that will work on the Mavericks?

    The front suspension is same as '66-'71 Falcon, Fairlane, Torino, '67-'73 Stang/Cougar and the '75-'80 Granada... Only thing that would prevent swapping shocks between any of these, the upper mount uses a pin on some models(my Cobra Jet) and others use the eyelet with a slotted bar so bolts in place...

    For the rear I haven't a clue...
