It's expired, but I've noticed he runs them pretty often and they usually don't bid too high.

One of my projects for the winter is shock relocation.

those be the ticket and the ones we have been talking about on here..I would gather that the bid history of nine alaready and the price it is at now the end results will be quite abit higher..how mcuh, hard to say...they go on other sites I frequent form 55 to 75 bucks a pair..makes my swap meet 2.00 a pair find still the deal of the year....everytime I hear a car pull up or a knock at the door I hide these and lock the door..

Those are the same ones I bought. Nice quality, Haven't installed yet. Don't remember what I paid.

Got those last year. Just need to get shocks and install.

[BobT-47P15]

Bought some on ebay that look just like those.....only they came off an

older Dodge pickup. I forget the price, but was reasonable.

Bought mine from a fellow forum member. Great investment!! Cass, alias littlemo...

Don't make me guess, what is the shock brand and number that looks great and your using the stock lower mount too.

I have Tim's deal beat (Barely).

I got mine for free. All I had to do was have a birthday and my brother inlaw gave me a pair off of his spare F1 front end....

Here is Tim's thread with some part numbers. littlemo listed a napa part number.

With the holidays I have been too broke to get the shocks for mine but maybe some time soon.

[OldDad67]

Thanks for the info on the shocks. I'm heading out to my local Napa today, in Oregon of course to save the tax. I am cheap you know.....

[Niel Hoback]

Not cheap, frugal. Big difference.

[old rat 49]

Heck; I'm broke.

[1lowdown]

Is ther an isuse with punching 2 more holes in the frame so close together, is a crack likely to develop due the the weakening effect of the 2 new holes?

[OldDad67]

Thanks for making it sound better Neil, but anyone who knows me would say cheap.

:D

so that squeaking noise is not new shoes eh..!!!

Many who have used the F-1 or similar Dodge front shock mounts have made and installed "backing-plates" to reinforce the frame in the area where the two mounting holes were drilled !! This is the pair I made. Cass, alias littlemo ...

Thanks for the words of wisdom.

I secured a pair of dodge mounts for a good price from another board member. This board is a wealth of knowledge.

I was thinking of the install I will be doing and Dang man! I was thinking of the same thing to put the nuts in the frame. You have made exactly what I had pictured in my mind.

I have not yet installed my shock mounts but I have made backing plates a bit more beefy. I used 1/4" stock. I do like your welded nuts and I plan on doing the same.
