broke shockmount
anybody had a problem with the front drivers side( or pass. side for that matter) lower shock mount breaking off. i thought the truck was handling kinda weird and looked under there, and sure enough the bottom of the shock was just hanging there. looked and one side of the shock mount was gone.
my question is, is this thing bolted it or riveted like i think it is, and if so, does anybody have a good way to change it out.
thanks,
jamie

I owned a 73 two wheel many moons ago and cant remember what it looked like down there, but, if its bolted, unbolt it, if its rivited, grind the rivit heads off and punch the rest out.....as far as where to get a replacement ???
I do know i went to a trailer builder once and got a leaf spring mount(for one of the spring eyes) that is the same size as a shock mount, it might be retrofitted to your truck if you cant find the right part good luck
