kridgleyud Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Anyone know a source to replace the the upper shock mounting stud on the 41-51 front end? Getting my old ones out and bent the 9/16 threaded end and would rather replace these than try to fix. As far as I can see, none of the main mopar sources carry them ... might have to fab one up or have one turned. But thought I would see if you folks knew.

dpollo Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 In the mid sixties I tried without success to get the lower stud which a new but faulty shock had broken. I think you will have to get used ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) If you are so dead set on keeping the upper stock shock mount position instead of remote to the frame...you can find some from someone who did the remote mount improvement given they used the frame mounts from a Dodge/Ford truck of the era or the aftermarket provide new forgings.. I would suggest to look to moving the shocks for improved ride and handling.....takes a lot of float out of the boat Edited October 17, 2017 by Plymouthy Adams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHN EDGE Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Move the upper shock mount to the frame. You'll like the improvement and it's easy to do.. Drives so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kridgleyud Posted October 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) alright ... alright ... you guys twisted my arm. Just ordered the PU style brackets to move the upper mounts. The dodge 1/2 ton brackets. Was thinking about this as a future project ... but seeing as I'm doing the entire front end, springs, bushing, king pins, rubber everything, new disc brakes and master cylinder ... I'll throw these in too! Looks pretty straight-forward ... just align and punch holes through frame and bolt up with a backer plate to support? At least that's what I've read on here. Any gotchya's on these? Edited October 17, 2017 by kridgleyud reword Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
