47-55.1 Rear shock mount

[Matt_50]

I just made some new rear upper mounts and I need new lower shock mounts. I'm seeing a couple different ones online. One looks like I'm guessing the original on CPP.

This is Chevy of the 40s in the picture. Looks like mine but with a hole drilled in and a bolt stuck through it and the head tacked to the bracket. Looks like a tight fit for the U bolt nut what ya Think?


Here's also a picture of mine. Both sides look like they were cut off like the uppers were. I'm thinking drill a hole, run the shock bolts in and just weld bthem together. No big nut where U bolt nut needs to go.

Thoughts? Drill out mine and weld or buy new?
