Just wondered if anyone has converted original shocks on a 3600 to tube style and how it was done.

Thanks

The easiest way is to just get the original mounts off a 1950 or later. There are top ones that are riveted to the frame, and bottom ones that are mounted with the leaf springs. You can use bolts for the upper ones instead of rivets. I do not know where you could get them other than a salvage yard.
