Help! Can't find front shocks for my 63!

I'm having a really hard time locating front shocks for my 63 Tbird. Apparently they differ from 61 and 62 models. The part number is monroe 5773 and my mechanic has only been able to find one so far. He's redoing my front suspension completely and has hit a major wall because he can't find this front shock. He's had my car for over a month....! Anyone know of a different shock that would work in the car? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me that front shocks would be that hard to find.


Thanks!

With no response from jonecin, I've listed the front shocks on Ebay under heading "1963 Thunderbird Shocks, front, Monroe".
