Default 1965 corvette Rear shock rebuild

Hello everyone. I have a customer here with a 1965 L76 corvette 327/365hp with a Muncie m21 trans. This is a perfect condition matching numbers vehicle. the left rear shock is leaking and I'm trying to find a place that can rebuild these ones as it's been extremely difficult to find a set with the correct date code. Does anybody on here know of a restoration shop that will rebuild shocks? The date code for the shock is 351-64. If I could find a set around that time that would be great but I'm not very hopeful. If anyone could help out, I would highly appreciate it. Thanks!
