Here is what I bought for my 1979 340 Drifter.

https://www.denniskirk.com/parts-unlimited/hydraulic-shock-absorber.p10139.prd/10139.sku

They are as close as I could find.  Kind of expensive but they don't make an exact OEM replacement.

I added some washers on the bottom along with the original plastic spacers and used some metal spacers on the top I got at the hardware store.

An original shock would likely have dried out seals and leak oil. A close fit new shock is ( I think ) your best choice.
