Hi, Ben Glad to hear you found a wagon, I figure it would have to be a stick shift for you to own (and a 5-speed to boot!)
I don't believe that HD shocks were ever offered for the rear on the wagons. I had to replace them on one of my TD's when one blew oil out on a cold morning on a trip across West Texas, I left most of my hydro fluid on the ground at a motel that chilly morning
You won't want to replace them until they leak anyhow, they are very co$tly compared to "normal" shocks. The spheres are relatively cheap by comparison and easily changed.
