Re: Broken upper shock mount on 58
Make one out of flat stock that matches the rivet holes and shock location. There is a reason you don't find them in wrecking yards, they all broke in the middle because of a stress flaw. I do not think they are repoped. In the 70's I had to fab them for my truck because none of the wrecking yards ones had them, I think I used 3/16" stock. Welding will not solve the problem, it just cracks next to the weld, bad metalurgy.
