Shock Absorber Mount ?
 
Working on a SWB 68 frame. Trying to get it ready for the road. What is the fix for the upper front shock absorber mount? The hole in the frame is to big from ware or just to many miles. What do you guys use to fix the problem?

I agree with cdowns, weld it, I have seen washers welded in as well to allow the shock mount to bolt up.

Or if you're not a welder, ECE makes a kit to strengthen up that area that is bolt on IIRC.

I made my own mounts. I had lowered the truck but I wanted to use over the counter shocks for it so I made some mounts bolted them to the frame and they are a little taller than the frame rail.

Early Classic Enterprises and Classic Performance Products sell a kit to bolt mounts to the top of the frame.
