shock mounts
I have a 1978 f150 4x4 and am looking for a pair of front lower shock mounts. You know the ones that rivet to the radius arms. And no one has any replacements. Not Ford and not any of the resto. companies. Any ideaswould be greatly appreciated.

I've tried a few of them and no luck so far. I was just wondering if anyone had any info as to who the bes candidate might be to try. I have tried NPD, Autokrafters, Jeff's Bronco Graveyard, LMC, and a place called green sales company so far.

4) D8TZ18126A .. Lower Front Shock Mounting Bracket
Fits 1978 F100/150 4WD after serial number BJ0,001 / All 1979 F100/150 4WD's. / Also fits 1978/79 Bronco's after production date 3/20/1978
Both types are obsolete, no longer available from Ford. No Ford dealer has any, no seller of Ford obsolete parts has any, either.
Since Bronco's use the same ones, try FTE sponsor Bronco Graveyard for the brackets.
Just make sure the two brackets match.

I'd have to go have a look at mine to be sure, but wouldn't this be the sort of thing that someone with a little metal working experience should be able to fab up rather quickly and inexpensively? Having said that, I realize that some of us have more access to that sort of thing than others.

I got a set for my truck at the junk yard, I'm fairly handy with a torch I was able to just cut the rivets but if you had access to a generator you could get that and an angle grinder, that would work good to. Cost me ten bucks
