Dennis.
I have a drop axle on my truck Posie Super Slide Springs.
Rears shocks are #5847 fronts are #5758. I believe they are Monroe spectrums . My truck is dropped five inches front and rear. Hope this helps. I can give you resting measurements tomorrow if you need them.
I called Sid at Sids Drop Axle. Which is who did the axle for me. Without hesitation he told me what shocks I need. They work great and it rides good.
Crummy, I was just about to make a post asking for some of the information you provided in this thread. Thanks for the info and part #'s on the shocks you used. I am considering using the '47-54 front shock mounts on my '36, but didn't know if there were shorter shocks available that would work. I also have a Sid's dropped axle and Posies springs.
The pictures you provided are also helpful. If I could ask a favor, when you get time, would you mind giving me some dimensions on the upper front shock mount? Mainly what I need is the distance from the top bolt holts (rivets on yours) to the top hole on the bracket where the shock mounts. This would enable me take some measurements from my axle to frame so I can figure out if these mounts would work for me. Also, if you have an angle finder, it would be helpful to know what angle Chevy put these mounts at.
Also, it looks like the top right hole on yours is above the frame and does not have a rivet? Or maybe it just looks that way in the picture.
Thanks!
Ron
