Plymouthy Adams Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 a number of companies make these..their design or TEMPLATE you ask would be proprietary...I personally would not post one and cut into their design and infringe on their means of making a living. I will go further to say that it is not rocket science and to that end to design one's own mount would be the best bet here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hiebert Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Some have met with success using F-1 shock mounts bolted to the frame. Readily available items apparently. A Forum search will yield more info than I can remember. It's been discussed quite a bit in the past. "Shocks" or "'shock mounts" will have results.

littlemo Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) A fellow forum member, Charlie Akers at www.olddaddy@rustyhope.com sells them as well as front disc brake conversions. I bought a pair from him but never used them as I used the F-1 type ( actually think mine were from a 37 Dodge pickup ?? bought from Dezeldoc on this forum. ), If your interested, pm me.

I used the Furd F150 front shock mounts, then I made 2 3/8 nut plates to go on the inside of the frame rails. I fished them up into the frame with a piece of wire. I will at some point probably rosette weld them in place after I test drive them for awhile. Hope this helps with your project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being a Furd guy I think they came on early 50's trucks.
