1976 F150 4x4 front suspension question
 
I am in the process of rebuilding the frame of my 76 f150 and don't think this is the stock front suspension(as far as the shock towers are concerned). The end result will be a 460 and a small lift, maybe 4". Can anyone point me in the direction of where to find maybe a dual shock setup and new spring buckets? Or maybe some aftermarket parts, custom stuff etc. Thanks in advance

that is stock for a single shock setup, but someone must've torched some rivets and bolted the shock mounts back on.

idk where to find what you want for sure, but Early Bronco Restoration Full Size Bronco Restoration Classic Ford Bronco Parts For Sale is always a good place to start.

Thats a 76 F150 shock set up on top the coil bucket and a 77-79 style shock mount bolted on behind the coil bucket.

Look on boncograveyard.com for aftermarket spring and shock mounts but nothing really custom. You'll either have to build something on your own or make somethng off another year work for anything different.
