Default 1964 shocks

I just pulled the front shocks off my 64 and looks like they are original. They read: Delco products Dayton Ohio USA
3186906 PLIACELL 222-63
Pretty sure the rears are original also. Have not pulled them yet but just about everything on this car looks to be original.
Question is are these rebuildable? Is it worth rebuilding?
Thanks
