Shine, I was planning on getting out in the garage over the Thanksgiving Holiday and doing some measuring. Work has been a bitch lately with long hours and I don't even feel like going out in the garage when I get home. I do have the dimensions of the shock written down out there. I will spend some time looking on the internet this weekend to see what I can find. Thanks for the offer to make me some new brackets. I may take you up on that if I can't find something. Although you might not like us guys that like the polish and shiny stuff! HaHa

Thanks for all the help guys. I definitely will get this fixed over the winter and hopefully fix the vibration with a new torque converter.

Buick1, I have tried contacting Pro Shock three times to no avail. Their website doesn't list the same part numbers, but I thought of just talking to them with all of the dimesions to see if they offer a shorter shock.

RC57, unfortunately I am having to find out things like this the hard way. The guy that I bought the car from has moved and I haven't been able to contact him to find these "little" things out. I was really a naive first time buyer and just saw a beautiful car that I could finish and afford. The car was started in 1998 by a guy that owns his own shop. I am pretty sure that he welded the frame up himself and put all the major drivetrain components together and painted the car. The guy that I bought it from had it 2 years and worked on it a little at a time. He didn't get all of the details from the original guy so my information is sketchy like knowing it is a crate motor with an aftermarket cam. That's all I know for sure. It seems to run great, but will need a tune now because it is pinging a little under hard acceleration. I showed the car to a local guy who builds streetrods and he offered some good advice, but I wanted to see what my "streetrodding.com" buddies had to say. Anyone who has knowledge and can identify some of these parts, I am all ears. I will have to replace the brake pads some day and I don't even know what they are. The local shops aren't much help if you can't give them a model and year that they can look up on their computer.

Thanks guys for all of the input.

RC57- I am not familiar with Magnum. Is that the company name that I can search for a website?

Willy's33-I'll show my ignorance but what is a "roundie round shop"? Do you recommend Carrera shocks over the Pro Shocks that I have? Do they offer the chrome look like I have on the car now?

Buick1-excellent idea of the notepad because as Shine mentioned my CRS is so bad that I write a note to remind myself of something and I forget where I put the note!

I just wanted to update all of you nice guys, including Shine, on the latest with these questions that I asked. I found a gentleman at Total Performance Inc who was a great help. We were able to agree that their longer upper shock bracket bolted right in place with my old one. I also have gone to the progressive spring in the rear of the 32 to help with that setup. I still haven't had great luck in tracking down the Magnum stuff to make sure that is what I have. I am an old fart that wants to see it first before buying and not all online info will give you that degree of certainty. I also bought an installed the new torque converter and just fired up the 32 this past weekend. I think my vibration is gone, but only the seat driving on the road will convince me of that. Thanks again to all of you for the information and advice. This is still my favorite website. I read it everyday!
