My old shock towers are very much rusted and I want to install new ones asap. I found these. Will they fit on the 79 F100? Or will they require modification?

Sorry about the messed up link. Have any opinions on it?

 

I would try to find the correct ones. I am way far away from my trucks to even give an opinion. Do you have a 2 or 4? What state you in?

 

It's a 2wd 1979 F100. I've searched a lot and this is all I've found. I'm in Kansas right now but I will be in California at the end of the month. That's why I need to fix it asap

 

Those will be more trouble than its worth. Did you try junkyards. I've never had these rust out. I've got a pair hanging on a 78. And I could get em to Newton free of charge. But it won't fit your time frame. Just trying to help

 

I can't find any on inventory in the local junkyards. I'm in Montezuma KS 67867. I appreciate the effort bud

 

I would suggest contacting the bronco graveyard. They should be able to help you out. Either by getting you the correct parts or by steering you in the right direction.

 

1980 and later is different.

C6TZ-5A306-C .. Housing-Front Spring & Shock Absorber / Right & Left: Same / Obsolete ~ No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

Applications: 1965/70 F100/250 2WD / 1971/79 F100 2WD & F250 2WD with 6,200 & 6,900 lb. GVWR's (except 460 engine) / 1975/79 F150 2WD

 

Well looks like I'm making my own then!

 

I have a similar issue on my 1979 F-100. The driver's side spring/shock mount is rusted in half. I know this thread is a bit old but it is the only discussion I could find on this topic. Did anyone have any luck finding originals or an aftermarket mount that will work?

Thank you!
