I believe 1950 was the first year for the aircraft style shock
absober. The later mount can be added to your frame: http://www.chevsofthe40s.com/detail/10902/Chevrolet_Mounts_Tube_Shock_Upper_Front_Or_Rear.html
And the lower ones are also avalable:

I don't know from personal experience but I've heard that the
rear anti-sway bar doesn't make as noticable a differance as
the front one does.
I think all of the shocks that the vendors are selling are gas
shocks. At least the ones that I bought from Classic Parts of
America were.
