I think it was the brother catalogue where I saw what was described a relocators for the front shocks of 72 and earlier chevy pick-ups. It is supposed to give a bit more travel and improve the angle. Anyone ever use these or see them installed? Where do they mount?

I bought em from Bill Turner. Im pretty sure thats where Brothers is buyin em from. They mount to the top of the frame rail. One thing to consider is that you may need longer shocks. I have 3 inch drop springs with 3 inch drop shocks from CPP (Doetsch Tech). When I relocated the upper shock mount, they were too short, even fully extended.

Well I have dropped my front end with coils and spindles, but still have the stock shock installed there (I don't drive my truck very often these days). So these I'd think would enable me to still use stock size shocks, right?

How could I get them from Bill instead of Brother's?

If you are still running the stock shocks, you should be fine. I went through Bills because I didn't know anyone else that carried em. I'd call Brothers and see if they are in stock. Bill has some personal matters, and it sounds like no one has been answering the phone. I think they were 54.95 or something from Bill.

OK, but they are probably $15-20 more through brothers, plus tax and this and that and the other! THANKS!
