Just to quote, since it is 50 years... June 2022, but we all know the block is still at the rebuilders....
Edit to add: Maybe time to move this to the Builds and Project Cars forum?
So I've gleaned this info from Rockauto listings, and a Monroe specification chart. Rockauto does list a Gas-a-djust for the front of my hardtop, nothing "performance" for the rear.
5804 is for the fronts, 5818 for the rears
This isn't going to be a canyon carver, or a drift machine... spring rates are only slightly stiffer then stock (about 10%). If they had the gas-a-djust for the rear I'd say good enough........ but they don't list one for the hardtop.
Just noticed... I never updated this... I did manage to get myself an RA64 manual rack!

Hmmmm... doing some research on here - https://www.kyb.com/resources/technical-information/dimensions/ and it appears that KG5524 MAY fit the bill for a rear shock as the dimensions*, and approximate mass** are similar....
Mark II rear shock dimensions
compressed - 11.625
extended - 19.375
mounting: pin on top and loop on the bottom, equipped with dust cover
KG5524 (67-69 Camaro with single rear leaf spring)
compressed - 11.85
extended - 19.13
mounting: pin on top and loop on the bottom, equipped with dust cover
only thing I can't confirm are sizes of mounting points - in particular the size of the loop on the bottom mount
Holy crap............. take a look here..... 
It appears that I can indeed use the Camaro shocks on my Mark II

2 plus years later........
It is now time to strip that axle, and get it down to just the case. I've found someone with the fabrication skills needed to swap the Mark II mounts over to the Supra axle case. I'll get both axles out and stripped in the next 30 days......
more to come.......
