Hey Tim! We do have some replacement shocks available. However, I do not know what is on your 1973 Airstream Argosy. Check out the following:
-Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock # LC283280
-Lippert Standard Replacement Shock # LC283271
-Replacement Dexter Bolt-On Shock Kit # K71-697-00
I would measure your existing shocks and see if these look like they will fit. You probably have Dexter axles on there so the if one of these is going to fit it is likely the Dexter shocks. It might also be worth calling Airstream to see if they know a replacement part number, they're pretty good with their parts. If you need anything else feel free to reach out in the comments below.
