rear upper shock mount for '52 F1
 

Hey all, Happy Fathers Day!
When I had took shipment of my truck many of the parts were missing. This often makes it hard for me to figure out some of the bits. I have the manual and have searched this site and cannot figure out just what the parts I need look like or where to get them.
Here is a picture of the frame where I think a long bolt must go through. Any help to point me towards what I need would be great! I want to get the special bolt so I can mock up the shocks to the (' Ford rear differential I am installing (the shock mounts need to be relocated)https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...0ed0af40e4.jpg

Rear upper shock mount?

Doesn't anyone have their rear upper shocks mount like this? desperate for a picture! Dimensions...

Here are a couple of pictures of my 51.

Thank you for the pictures! Your chassis looks great!
Question, do the studs have the same diameter? Or are they stepped in some manner?

I would love a chance to buy one or two of these from someone willing to part with them....
Or, perhaps if someone that has one could measure one up good enough to make a few, that would be great too!
Here is a picture of one:

this picture may be missing one of the special washers.

Looks like you found your answer. Good, I never had mine apart. :confused:

Not yet< but getting closer. I found a picture of one-but still need a pair, one to borrow to copy or good measurements to make some....

Mid Fifty has them in their catalog.

I saw that and called yesterday-no longer available! Such a bummer!
Thanks though!

That's unfortunate, I've noticed quite a few items lately seem to be disappearing once the existing stock is gone.
EMS sheet metal only has about half their items still available, and quite a few things from mid-fifty were in the catalog but no longer available.

If you can't get someone to give you a set, then I can remove one of mine from my truck and take pictures and measurements for you. I would think anyone who did a rear suspension upgrade should still have theirs kicking around.

The front lower shock pins are also very difficult to find, Mid Fifty is the only place I found that had them. I ordered two of them as mine were in poor shape.

I have two pictures taken from when I had my pins out last time.

Ill have to look through my pile of parts, I took mine off when I did my rear suspension.

That would be too cool!
What a great group of guys!
That's what makes this hobby/disease fun-the people you get to interact with in pursuit of our projects!

Attached is a PDF of a dimensioned drawing for the upper rear shock stud. Excuse the poor drafting, I don't normally do mechanical drawings.
The site won't let me upload the native CAD file.

If anyone noticed any obvious errors let me know and I'll correct it.

I dug these out of a parts drawer in the basement. I parted several F1's five years ago. I am accumulating some F1 and F2 parts trucks so I can start a project. I will not be using these shock studs and would sell them at a fair price. thanks
