I found this one, http://secure.oldchevytrucks.com/SHOCK-ABSORBER-CONVERSION-KIT-1936-1949-1_2TON/productinfo/HP590/ but I figure I could probably save some money by buying the shocks separately from somewhere else. Also I only need the fronts, I already have tube shocks for the rear.

But, everything I have seen is a do-it-yourself fabrication. May have to go that way, but hope some more folks will respond with how they have done it............?

I don't how well it will work as it's still taking up residence in the garage. Some pics start here. May give you some ideas.
