Hi all, I have a 72 Gremlin with an auto 258 and leaf springs. 

What's the correct shock replacement? I went to a good local parts store, they looked them up and ordered, but their not correct. My original shock has an eye mount on the bottom, and a horizontal T at the top that bolts directly to the body. 

Any help please?!

thanks,
Kensey

That is the style that I put in the Spirit. Is it possible that someone changed the spring perch/lower shock mount? We will only know if you get more responses from Gremlin owners.

Later!
