I'm curious if anyone here has both the F1 shock mount, and one off of a 37 Dodge, and how close they are to the same shape.  (I think that's the right year - from pictures I've seen the Ford mount looks like a copy of the much older Dodge one.)

I have each but they are filed away somewhere for now and to be honest with you....not sure I could state is a lot of difference and that one will work as well as the other.    IF I run upon these next time I am long term storing an item or having a need to collect from my long term, I will compare these closer and report findings.

we relocated the front shocks on a 49 plymouth p17 before we ever drove the car. it rode stiff and felt every bump. we took them off and put gas shocks in the stock location. it glides down the road. the same bumps are hardly noticeable. we know connecting the a arms with a shock is odd, but it works, at least for us.

for sure there are different schools for the two set up...depend on how you drive them as to what you will get out of them....they tamed the beast at speeds to 85, figure that is all I best push it given conditions.....I would be floating like a boat with stock....not so now...nice controlled ride.
