just wondering what the rear struts are that i got from a local wreck?

theye are dark blue, which originally made me think theye were monroe's. on closer inspection they are made in USA. only distinctive numbers are 223 and what could be the part number PG07RC1A. Cant see a brand name on them anywhere. For an L series by the way

possible Gabriels.the base plate doesn't take the standard king spring.

I think the 85 L series had adjustable struts still... I have seen them on a few L's now.
