Rear Shocks
Stud with nut, you need a small metric wrench to hold the flat on
the stud. I think 7mm but it's been a long while since I messed
with them. If it looks at all rusty then give it some Rust-Eater
and a while to loosen up, the stud-flat isn't much to grip on.
Anti-sieze is when it goes back together.
They're inset in the wall behind the seat, in pockets, and foam
rubber biscuits hide the stud ends.

To undo top studs/nuts on rear shocks on vert fbodies:
1) fold down rear seat, look on both sides for perforated carpet, you WILL need to cut it thru, it is only perforated, cut thru then pull flap back. Pull out foam "silencer" material
(see pics)
2)use small crescent to hold shock stud, use open end wrench on top nut (15mm?), loosen nut. Undo lower stud, remove shock, replace in same fashion. Apx time to do both; 1 hour +/-
