58 F100 Front and Rear lower shock mounts.

Hi All. Looking for pictures and maybe point me in the right direction for the front and rear lower shock mounts for a '58 F100. Uppers are there. Truck didn't have them when I bought it. I did an axle over springs conversion on both front and rear and realize I will have to do some fabrikatin' but I need a place to start. Here is a link to my thread.

I'll try and take pictures of mine tomorrow in the daylight. Mine is a '57, should be the same?

If not, you will need them and the stud that retains the rear shock absorbers to the brackets.

I did an axle over spring swap on both axles with the u-bolts now inverted and once I get the brackets, I intend to fabricate brackets so I can bolt the originals in place and use original length shocks. Browsing the internet, I see 3 different styles.

You quoted my post so quickly that I didn't have time to edit the typo.

The photos show the rear, lower shock mounts (L&R) which are held on by the U-bolts. They were removed from my '58 F-100. PM me if you are interested in them.

When purchased from Ford, these are two separate parts.

The B6C-18193-A studs are retained to the B7C-18132-A/B7C-18133-A R/L brackets with 34374-S7 1/2" -20 lock nuts.

Good point! The ones shown above are each an assembly and have the castle style, retaining nuts. I didn't want to damage them by trying to take them apart.

Actually my brain was fried by the heat today (110 degrees) working on tractors in the sun. With the flip, I used new round u-bolts and they are pointed down like the originals. I just have to buy or build a bottom u-bolt plate. Those should bolt right up.
