rear shock mounts (lower spring plates)
 

Hi guys. I was wondering if anyone can affirm that the '57-'60 F100 rear shocks mount the same as the '56 rear shocks. I am installing a 9" from a '69 F100 and am hoping to find some lower rear shock mounts/spring plates from a 57-60 F100 to use with the 3" tubes. Will most 57-60 trucks have these lower mounts?

Here is a pic of the way the shocks mount in my truck with the stock Dana 44 with 2.5" tubes in my '56. Thanks!

I cannot verify this, since I have not done this swap. I think you may have to re-locate them, depending on which year the donor truck is. It is not supposed to be too difficult, though.

the mounts on my '59 are different than those pictured. i can post a
picture and take some measurement tomorrow morning if you want...

That would be great. I think they're different on the 57-60's, but do they mount the same way? Thanks!

ya, same setup just a different mount, hold on trucks right out front...

Excellent thanks. I need to find two lower rear shock mounts....if anybody has a pair for sale!
