Going thru the parts lot I purchased and this shock was found. The box reads Autolite with C7ZZ-18124-D but the actual shock shows the following. Any help to ID the application would be appreciated.

Basic Part Number (18045): This is the standardized Ford code for a shock absorber assembly. It is commonly used across various Ford models for front or rear suspension damping units.

That is not a production style shock. It would be a service replacement

Auto flex was a later incarnation of the shock design

As stated previously, the shock absorber is not the same as the kit number on the box

The kit number will not tell you about the specific shock inside the box

TY for the responses. There would be no real value for a restoration project but maybe for a nice driver quality car not concerned with NOS original style parts?

I guess thats an optimistic perspective 😁

Personally, I like regular hydraulic shocks on my driver, and it seems harder and harder to find non-gas shocks, especially at a reasonable cost.

That shock will not fit a 1967 Falcon. It has the Mustang / Cougar style top mount. The 1967 Falcon used a different mounting system.
