installing a 9" in my 53

Hi Guys'


I'm putting a 9" rearend in my 53 f100, and I would like to know where I can find rear spring tie plates with the shock mounts on them?
All I can find are plates that are used for flipping the axle.

As far as I know, the easiest "bolt in" option is the bottom plate and associated shock bracket from a 57-60 f100 (for a 3" axle tube).

I recently bolted in a '69 f100 rear end using the above brackets and the existing '56 top plate.

I found somebody in the 57-60 forum who was ditching the stock rear spring setup and he sent me the brackets...I owe him!
