Has anyone seen these shocks on their 1-1/2 ton?

I'm guessing this is for your 1946 Chevy 1-1/2 ton? You haven't mentioned what model it is, but you can find details about the shocks on your truck in this free to use 1942-47 Chevy Shop Manual. Courtesy of Keith Hardy's OLD ONLINE CHEVY MANUALS Project Page.

Look at Section 2 specifically for the shock info.

Being new to Old Chevies, so I don't see anything indicating models on a 46 other than an ID plate. The picture of the lever shock is off a classified of a 47 he says is a ton and a half. I'd not seen that before - I thought they didn't have shocks. Thanks for the link to the manual, but not too helpful. I can see why the pull the body off and plunk it on newer truck frames.

My 1957 Chevrolet 2 ton Low Cab Forward has factory standard front axle shocks, they are "modern" style tube shocks. I think I remember seeing on the GM Heritage info that rear shocks were an option but that seems strange for a medium duty truck.
