My direct experience with CW in Albuquerque, NM.
In 2012 I went in to CW to buy 4 new Bilstein shocks for my 1999 Ford F53. (One of the most popular gasser chassis around. The Ford chassis uses the same F & R shocks for something like +-11 consecutive production model years.)
The CW parts guy told me, "Oh my God no, we won't have those in stock they are too old. That would be a special order, plus shipping, plus sales tax plus two weeks delivery time IF we can even get them." Hummmmmmmm. I left without placing the order.
Google is my friend. I bought the shocks from the first place I found online in Florida at half CW's quoted price including shipping and no sales tax. Lets see, . . . . their web site said they had 56 rears and 58 fronts in stock. How many would you like? The shocks were on my doorstep via FedEx ground in 3 days. Just my experience. YMMV
