Shocks on 1973 Overlander

What is the difference between a vertical shock and a horizontal shock? On my 73 Overlander the shock is mounted at about a 45 degree angle. Is this vertical? The shocks that are currently on there are made by Sears and are obviously quite old. I removed one of them without having to bend anything to get it off, and it does appear to be quite worn. A local auto parts dealer has a Monroe gas shock that is almost an exact match for the Sears shock except that it is beefier. Any thoughts on this?
