What's the best replacement bracket and what year truck brackets can I use? It was welded pretty good. The original shock was completely broken.
I'd also like to get a truck camper in the future and can't figure out load capacity. I'd like to add heavy-duty shocks to the back when I replace them. 58 Chevy 1/2 ton longbox. 5000 gvw | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 466 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 466 | I got some new ones from Chevs of the 40s for my '50. They are about twice as thick as the weak orig. Check with them and see if they have replacements for you 1-800-999-2438 | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 183 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 183 | Thanks! So these are held inplace by rivets. Do I drill them out and use the replacement with nut and bolt or find someone to do the rivet? (sorry about the dumb question but I'm learning) | | |
