deCarbon's are orange, Bilsteins are YELLOW not white, the only black shocks i've seen are the Monroe Sensa-trac, thats not to say there weren't ones from the factory but i've not seen them.

No Bilstein makes shocks that are either yellow, black, or machined stainless... depending on what series you get and for what vehicle. All Bilstein shocks for 93-02 F bodies will be yellow.

nope, these http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...ont-rear-set-/ where the SLP optioned shock/spring combo.

the only black ones I can find are ACDelco, Monroe and the KYB's in this add http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/ptd/4379300942.html of those the ACDelco is likely what your looking at if you are certain they are stock.

Someone correct me if Im wrong but I thought some of the Delphi shocks that came on these cars were black?
Regardless op, what you are looking at is nothing worth spending money on unless you need something really cheap (like $50 TOPS) just to get the car back on the road or something.
Otherwise invest in some good, new shocks, it will be the best money you've spent on the car.
