Tilting to one side, Is this a shocks problem? Options

[Michael J]

I walked up to the rear of of my car and noticed it was lower on one side than the other. Checked the tire pressure (which was OK). Got out the meassuring tape to make sure my eyes weren't off and there is a defininte 3/4" difference. Lower on the right side.

My '72 is pretty much stock including all the dirt and oil caked on the springs and shocks. I cleaned things up and the shocks are red and probably really old.

Any ideas about what might cause this list and what the fix might be?

Don't let someone else do the repair half-a$$ like the PO on mine...

Here's the beginning of the repair on my website.
