Re: 1950 3100 rear shock mount with Explorer rear end
Most of us do pretty much the same as J48Chevy did be it buy a kit or fab up the pieces ourselves.
As he showed having to rework the sides for tire clearance with the Explorer rear is part of the job unless you have some severely offset wheels. I have a mid 70's Nova rear and wheels with maybe 3-1/2 inch back spacing and just barely clear my bed sides. This time around I am going to a bit wider rear and 7 inch steel wheels with 225 tires so it isn't a worry for me.
