4x4 shock brackets
 

Every other frame I've seen has the front shocks bolting into the frame rail half way down.But my 1960 Chevy Apache K10 has brackets that bolted to the frame rail, extend up and bend to form the top shock mount. Both are broke, welded, and are in need of replacement. I've searched high and low, no one has heard of or seen them for sale. Any tips on making these look new and serviceable?

It looks like our trucks went to the same welding shop. My passenger side is fine but the driver's side has been welded.. I found the mounting studs online at a hot rod shop in California.. The ones Classic Chevy Truck Parts of America sell will not fit.. I guess they were serious when they listed them for 2WD only..There was a NOS mounting bracket on Ebay..The one I needed... Of course it slipped my mind and sold for $12.00...

I would cut and modify the tops to include a brace that extends on top of the frame flange and volts to it.

mine are toast on both sides also. half to grind everything off and build new mounts. definitely a week spot on these trucks.

Hello all! I see this thred was from a while ago but I was wondering if some one could tell me if they know where to buy replacement mounts or if someone could measure theirs and give me some numbers I could use to build new ones. Any help is appreciated
