I ordered aftermarket shock mounts from the Truck Stop today and was told that they no longer carry them.
Can any one suggest a vendor that carries shock mounts?
Thanks

Actually I call on ol Tom Myers who has a back yard wrecking yard of various AD's and such. You'll probably have to cough up @ $10-12 bucks a piece for these plus shipping. Remember that the fronts are a bit different than the rears (top and bottom). I'll send you some photos that might give you an idea of the differences. Oh, please excuse the rust. -jeff tommyers E-mail Address(es): [email protected] | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 738 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 738 | couldn't you get a set made? i know that in my town we have a place that could make me a set of shock mounts if i had a drawing or picture of what i needed. i am not sure how muchhe would charge but i know that they would make me a set.

I found a pair on E-bay, the ended up coming from Jim Carter.
I understand that Chevy Duty also carries them.
If the price difference is minimal you should buy from American Classic, since they are generous enough to sponsor this site!
