Potential cheap shock relocation Mount option

[Dan Capeci]

I'm gathering parts for when I start working on the front end of my 48 Business Coupe, and was looking at the F1 shock mounts and came across these. Anybody have any thoughts on them or why they wouldn't work? For the price it might be worth trying out and I'm seriously considering it.

Interesting question.......those mount on a flat surface which may or may not work where the chassis upper shock spot is on the 1940-48 mopars, also the lower mopar mount is basically pointing to the rear of the car....these mounts when attached to the chassis have the "pin" pointing more or less at 90 degrees to the frame........but usually the upper & lower shock eyes can be turned at 90 degrees to each other...........I'm curious whether they may work.........andyd

I would check how far away they move the shock from the frame.

i do like that mounting surface. I been thinking about my 1948 Desoto.

My 93 F250 rear shock upper mounts sit about 2 " inboard and below the frame rail.  To install these on my truck would require mounting them on the inside of the C shaped frame, open side of the frame is on the inside so I would guess the standout to the shock stud to be about 4 inches.  you'll have to wait till it stops raining and dries up a bit  if you need more accurate measurements.

What about Rusty Hope's front shock mounts?

Sadly they nay or may not have them .... They do have a nice goodbye letter .... just selling off what they have in stock but think they wrote it 2 years ago.
