mbosse1947 Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Hi I have a question for AndyDodge I have and was wondering if you sell the front shock mounts, I saw on the internet. They were really nice Thank You Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyd Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Nope, I just built the mounts for myself to suit a pair of short front shocks I had, tho' to be honest the Mopar and Ford pickup cast steel mounts seem to work quite well too and would probably offer a wider choice of suitable shock absorbers...............I actually couldn't find a listing of the Chev pickup shocks at local parts stores here in Oz so thats why I decided to see what I could fabricate.............I do appreciate your asking tho'..........thanks, andyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
