So, we will be using Chevy’s of the 40s kit that installs tube shocks. The kit mimicking the 1950s and later shocks configuration. However, the kit doesn’t come with a template for locating the shock supports that will hold the tube shock at the top, bolted to the frame. Any past experiences with these kits is greatly appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 1,775 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 1,775 | Can't speak for the CPP kit, but the GM oem uppers used the same mounting holes as the lever action. They were at an angle and only used 3 of the 4 holes on the bracket. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2021 Posts: 241 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2021 Posts: 241 | Thanks Whitedog. The search that I’ve done for the supports installation do illustrate that only three bolts are used for the uppers. You just revealed something I had not found, that being that new supports can pick up the holes used on the single action shocks. A friend provided me one new upper support so I’ll use it to see if I can do what you’ve said. | | |
