I am getting ready to replace the shocks on my 1971 Mach 1. I have never replaced the shocks before.
Anyone have some good advice on best way to replace them?

I don't know if you have done this yet but this video shows the operation on a 1966 model but it's basically the same for our models. It's not too hard.
I think your Mach 1 will have staggered rear shocks instead of inline like in video.
