some recently but they are much shorter than the Monroe units I have on the
truck now. Is there some sort of adjustment fitting that needs to be added to
take up the slack? The shocks I purchased look to be the corre
It seems like I used Gabriel red riders on my '49 with shock towers off a '52
and lower mounting as well. Adapters can be got from different vendors. May
use them on my current '49 which is now running DA shocks, the heavy duty type.

Hardest part was gettin the backing plate between the rear leaf spring and

Sorry , Nate, I don't even own a camera, but I'll work
on it. My brackett is a simple "L" shaped hardware
piece from the store with about 4 washers between it
and the dash to allow for clearance when I rotate it
back under the dash.

Finally got my father-in-law's '53 Chevy 1/2 ton up here to Kodiak
Island, Ak and into the shop. Great winter project. First time into
something like this. Suspect that more than one winter will be
involved. Lots of problems getting parts and material, etc. Looking
forward to some good advice
All are welcome. Get a shop manual and parts manual. If you have a
digital camera, you might start a folder of your project here; and take
pictures as you go. Good luck. ...bill

Fred, never been to Kodiak Island, but I have spent some time in Homer and
Sewardright across the water from you. If you have to spend the winter
working inside, at least you're in a beautiful part of the world to do it.
Hey, how 'bout sending us some good, fresh salmon!
Best of luck with

in seeing what your starting with.
Good luck Ken
