Do you know if all the 57-59 busses had shocks? I know it was an option on the big trucks but I think most of them were bought without (mine are both old grain/farm trucks, and probably spent most of their life in a field or on a gravel road).
I scavenged shoocks and brackets off a 69 Ford step van. You might find something that will fit off an old step van or moving truck. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 667 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 667 | I'm guessing Mike is right. Shocks were likely an option but you might find what you are looking for at a scrap yard on an original truck chassis. I had to make a set for my '46. Best of luck. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 2,063 Big Bolt Forum Moderator | | Big Bolt Forum Moderator Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 2,063 | the bottom brackets off my stepvan bolt onto the nuts on the axle U-bolts. As long as the leaf springs are the same width off the donor truck I would think they would work fine. Then the top mounts bolt (or were riveted) through the frame. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 60 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 60 | Many thanks for the help. A bus usually had the brackets. The one a salvaged did all but one! Just my luck.
