Re: 63-72 Chevy P/U Rear Shock Mount System
This is how they are mounted except the shock bolt is in backwards. Is that right? I can't see the truck until Monday night so all I have is the pictures posted.
I should have taken pictures of both sides I guess!

Re: 63-72 Chevy P/U Rear Shock Mount System
Rob is there a reference point to measure from for the frames that don't have the 5/8 hole you had in the frame on the shop truck? I noticed Andy said his didn't have one. I have a hole in mine but I'm not sure it is the correct one. In the case of there not being a hole is there a a specific angle the shocks should be mounted at to have proper action? I have be told that Monroe shocks don't perform well at an angle in excess of 30 degrees, apparently the valveing is affected. You thoughts are appreciated.

Re: 63-72 Chevy P/U Rear Shock Mount System
Got the shocks truned around and glad I went back under there. I had left the top shock bolts loose for some unknow reason.
Camera died I post pictures once it charged up again.

How thick is the spacer block on the trailing arm ? about 1.5" ? and was this done so you did not have to raise the bracket on the crossmember or just for travel clearance on the trailing arm when it was lowered ? thanks, Kieth |
