Anybody know if it's possible to rebuild the original shocks on the 65? or does anyone know where to get a set?

A few years ago I had a guy name Dan Patch rebuild my original shocks for my 58' that were leaking.
Did a great job, and I am very happy. All the internals were replaced with new materials and the cartridges looked brand new with I got them back.
The phone number I have for him is (913) 515-3721
Not sure if he's still in business, but worth a shot.

Nothing wrong with them, they just don't match the originals in appearance so are not correct on a true restoration.
