1948mopar Posted May 30, 2012 Report Posted May 30, 2012 The rear upper shock studs on my 48 1/2 ton are pretty much rusted through. Left side broke off trying to take apart. Does anyone know if these are still available? Has anyone found a work around? or, would anyone have one they would be willing to measure up so I could see if a machine shop can make a set based on the peices I have and proper measure. Thanks, Quote
Dave72dt Posted May 30, 2012 Report Posted May 30, 2012 GM back in the 60' ands 70's had a bolt-in bottom shock stud that may work. Check the HELP! section at your local auto parts store. Quote
1948mopar Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Posted June 11, 2012 Pulled what was left of the upper rear shock studs out. Looks like I'll need to have new ones made at a machine shop as nothing seems to match up. Has anyone done this before? Quote

HanksB3B Posted July 6, 2012 Report Posted July 6, 2012 They look like they'd be a heck of a lot of fun bead blasting...bet they'd turn out like 1948! Hank Quote

John-T-53 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 Does anybody know of a source for new washers for the shock studs? looking for a new shiny set.... Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 I sourced these one time..they were outrageous in their price..figured next time I was at the wrecking yard would grab a few..years ago, many years ago, the shocks would come with new washers as part of the kit..now you lucky if you new shock is all metal and not having a plastic dust shield.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Mopar-B-E-Body-Rear-Shock-Washers-/400315399094?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5d34a83bb6&vxp=mtr Quote
John-T-53 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 Yeah I was surprised the new shocks didn't come with new hardware. It's been a while since I bought shocks. Today, it's less for more. Quote
LMBoise Posted April 22, 2019 Report Posted April 22, 2019 I know this is an old post, but I am also looking for these studs. Has anyone found a source for these studs? thanks. Quote
FlashBuddy Posted April 22, 2019 Report Posted April 22, 2019 I used Speedway Motors for my '50. Not sure about '48. Quote
