I got the new rear shocks all permanently mounted up today. It was definitely not as easy as I originally planned. The 3/4 ton stuff is all on its own especially with it being a ‘49. The easiest thing for me to do was to weld in 2 plates and mount the new upper mounts to them and then on the rear end i used some shock stem eliminators with some washers so i could mount to the rear without any real modifications. Im happy with the end result for the little work I actually had to do. Heres some pics.
