Dan,

Here is a shop that can rebuild yours.

http://www.applehydraulics.com/shocks.htm

Kind of pricy though.

Are your shocks locked up, or are the shaft seals just leaking? If the truck was driven much with dry shocks, the mainshaft may have been ruined rendering them unrebuildable. Hopefully the seal is good and you may be able to cycle the pistons several times and purge out the contaminants in the reservoir.

I sent two double acting shocks to Apple Hydraulics. The end price was actually lower than they had quoted me as less work was required. I'd definitely recommend them.
