Front Shock Relocation Question

Hey everyone! My first post. I just finished installing the air ride on my 66 c10 but all I have left to do is install shocks on the front. I have cupped control arms but no spindles. I’ve looked at many front shock replacement kits like CPP that mount to the top of the frame. The thing is, I have the original manual 3 speed and the clutch housing is in the way of where you are suppose to mount the bracket. Passenger side is fine. I’ve looked at the only other bolt on option from porterbuilt that mounts to the side of the frame but it’s $90 and you then have to buy the extendable shocks for $125, then $50 shipping. The total ends up being $270. I really hate to spend that much to place shocks on this truck. Is it possible to mount the CPP bracket to the side of the frame in the same location of where the shock would be mounting it from the top? I don’t have a welder or really any fabrication tools so I have to stick to bolt on options. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’ll add a pic of my truck.

Re: Front Shock Relocation Question

This style of mount may work for you. They are off later model 4x4's that have dual shocks. Wrecking yard items if your lucky.
Props to member KQQLIT for the tech tip and the photo.
