62 rear shock mount and brake questions!

[cag]

good morning, anyone have the stock upper rear shock mounts in their truck yet? if so can i get a dimension from the back of the frame to center of shock mounting, and from the top of the frame to the center of shock mounting?? some idiot, (me) cut them off, i am trying to make the tinworks rear mount work.

any one have a dana 60 in their truck with drum brakes? where is a good source for brakes, hardware and drums??


thank you!!

I used these mounts on my 62 that I think came from porterbuilt. I had to trim the width of the mount to line up with the bottom mount. I can a picture of the finished shock set up later tonight. Hope this helps.

That is what i am looking for!! how did you determine the location? also anymore pics would be great, what shocks are those??

so the brackets are not porterbuilt, i emailed them.... any chance you have info on them? can you check the wayback machine?? lol

Thank you!

I altered the existing mounts. I determined their location buy taking the springs out and bottoming the suspension, then compressing the shock and see where the mount needed to go. Bumpstops keep the shocks from making contact.

These pictures are before being fully welded.

I will check tomorrow to see if I have a receipt and pics.

the upper shock mounts are from no limit engineering and the rear shocks are CCP 4052G for lowered trucks

How did you determine the location for the upper mount??

Here are some photos of my rear shock mounts. I didn't have a specific location for the mounts. I wanted the shocks to be further forward from the original location so that they were not at the angle when stock. In the photo of the inside of the frame (Last Photo) you can see where I used a step bit to open the holes large enough to get a deep socket in to tighten the nuts on the back side of the mount. I also made a gusset for that portion of the frame. I'm not sure it was needed but I wanted to be sure.
If you have any questions, you can send me a PM. Post a picture of your truck
